"Will you support Obama, even though he voted against the Roberts nomination? Of course you will." It is this way. The president is supposed to make those appointments with the advice and consent of the Senate. Note, the Senate is not a rubber stamp. Obama was merely fulfilling his constitutionally mandated obligations. The fact that you feel the Senate is supposed to approve any appointment just because they can't come up with a rock solid reason not to shows you don't really understand the process. If a president choses not to work with the Senate when making appointments, which Bush chose not to do, it is incumbent on the president to make the case for the candidate.
