My standards don't shift based on the party in power either. But in answer to your question, Constitutionally speaking (and along with advice and counsel of Congress), the President nominating her IS the determining factor in whether or not she is worthy of being nominated. I'm caught in the unfortunate position here of disliking the choice, but being unable to find valid grounds from which to contend against the nomination.
"But in answer to your question, Constitutionally speaking (and along with advice and counsel of Congress), the President nominating her IS the determining factor in whether or not she is worthy of being nominated."
And the senate, which is an extension of the citizen, is the determining factor as to whether she can be confirmed or not.
So again, what is exactly your point? Once she's been nominated, we shouldn't do our jobs and let our publicn officials know what we really think about her as a nominee?
