Ya know.....you seem to be saying that we have the constitutional right to pick a SCOTUS justice and second guess the president.
We don't.
The Senate does that with advise and consent, and we elected them to do that.
That is a Republic.
Your leading questions require the the honest answer that some of us trust the presidents judgment, but following that is the work of the Senate, which has yet to start.
What you seem to advocate is a pure democracy, or a European model, and we don't have that, for obvious reasons.
So how about we all sit back and watch the show? Our job is done, and no amount of pressure on these senators will change their minds. At least I hope the hell not.
That's a government by public poll for Cryin out loud.
Lets watch the show and see if she has grit. If so, the Senate should have little to object to.
If not, she won't be confirmed.
