So how do you see the nomination and confirmation of a justice working? I thought what he described was exactly the process. Actually, in practice, it's not. The Senate can turn down SC nominees on whatever grounds it can get enough votes for. Clinton worked that process about as welll as it could be worked by working with Oren Hatch, the chair of the Judiciary Committee, before sending nominations forward. Bush did it exactly the opposite and what appears to be the McCain approach. It's my presidency and I get to do what I want. Go eat grass.
