wayne,

re:President's nominate judges, they do not appoint them.

No - actually they do both, but the advice and consent step comes in the middle.

He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

There you folks go again. Interested in proving the other person wrong. Is there any difference if the glass is half empty or half full? The fact is it is still half, not empty not full.

Similarly the President has to propose first and the Senate gives or denies consent.

Come on Wayne, you can do better in a argument even if you are on the loosing end.
