I don't believe the Founding Fathers intended that a Senate committee have veto power over the president's nominations for simple political differences. Your probably right about that. Also if this continues it will get very hard for candidates with experience and an extensive history to get confirmed because one party or the other will blackball them. Instead you will get "stealth" candidates who haven't written much and haven't had to make many controversial decisions, and who clam up during the hearings. Tim
