I think you have the process inverted a bit.

The president nominates, then the Senate exercises its prerogative of "advice and consent."

Whether or not the Senate ultimately comes to the conclusion that that nominee is worthy of being confirmed, or does not meet their standards and is rejected, is a matter for that legislative body to decide.

Whether or not the Senate ultimately comes to the conclusion that that nominee is worthy of being confirmed, or does not meet their standards and is rejected, is a matter for that legislative body to decide.

So you agree with the Democrats that they should be able to prevent the confirmation of any Republican nominee if they can find the means to prevent it?

Would you also agree that if John (The Traitor) McCain does not want a conservative justice appointed, he and his merry band of liberal Republicans should join the Democrats to block them?
