You said, " 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." and "That's an interesting story, but I don't see how it contradicts anything I've said." The point to Rule 4 was to avoid having any president pick someone would be so politically unacceptable to the minority that not even one minority member of the committee would find the nominee palatable. That doesn't mean just "unqualified." "Unqualified" isn't a neutral term when applied to members of the federal bench. The people who made the Constitution understood this perfectly well.
