The Constitutional stipulation is:
ARTICLE 2. SECTION 2.
2 He [the President] shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to ... appoint ... Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States ...
If a President nominated a person that the Senate discovered was an escaped prisoner, formerly serving a life sentence for multiple murders, the consent would not be appropriate.

But do you think the Founders intended, or the Constitutional wording means that if a Senator doesn't think the otherwise fully qualified candidate is pretty enough, or if her purse doesn't match her belt, that Senator should reject that nominee?
Worst Debate Tactic Ever: Take your opponent's argument to a ridiculous extreme and then attack the extreme.
Never thought I'd see YOU do it, though.
