So which is it? Is the senate supposed to defer to presidential discretion in SC nominations or isn't it? What is the principle here?

The whole constitutional idea of Senate conformation was to keep the President's unqualified friends off the court. My take would be that you confirm her if she is qualified, which she is. And not confirm her is it is cronyism, which it is.

Obviously-unless she blows up during the hearings-she will be confirmed.
