The people at the Constitutional Convention had far too much mistrust of any one person or even any one branch to allow the president to have the kind of power that you and McCain describe over who gets appointed to the federal courts. I think you're inferring way to much. I'm talking about "advise and consent," too. My notion of advice is telling the pres when a nominee is unqualified, such as Myers. Of course, everyone told him that so the Senate didn't have to come to the rescue. It's not telling him that he needs to nominate someone who has certain political values.
