The precident in the Senate is to give the president who/whatever he nominates.

The standard phrase is "Advise and Consent". Unless the President is Republican, of course, in which case Democrats are perfectly within their rights to obfuscate, smear and lie to sink nominations.

“Advise and Consent” - thank you for the correct phrase. Notice the Constitution does not say “Rubberstamp”. According to all the pundits and Lindsey Graham et al, it sure sounded like a Rubberstamp to me; they just wanted to play politics with the nomination process for a bit.
