Can you name for us one Clinton judicial nominee that was fillibustered and required to clear a 60 vote hurdle to get a floor vote?
If memory serves me right, every single Clinton judicial nominee except one got a floor vote, and that one was withdrawn by Clinton when it was clear that the nominee wasn't going to make it out of committee.
And a senator honors the constiution by fulfilling the advise and consent function of the senate in judicial appointments--which is why Republicans held up Clinton judicial opponents, no?

Huh? The reason is because there is a Republican majority in the Senate, so Senate Democrats HAVE NO advise and consent function if they bring a vote to the floor, because any Republican who voted against an administration appointment (unless they cut a deal for a release) would be destroyed. Are you not aware of this?
