I totally agree he has the right to appoint her. Just as Bork should have made it to the Court when Reagan nominated him.

Since Bork, this process has become more and more politicized, and it has been predominantly the Left who has politicized it. That's a fact. The Republicans generally have given the president his choices unless there was something particularly egregious in the candidate's past. I'm not aware of Rs rejecting a candidate on ideology alone.

The Ds routinely, in fact ALWAYS, make it about ideology. I do think THAT is wrong.

At what point do the Rs stand up and say, "Hey, if you're going to do this, we're going to as well"?
