That's the problem with many folks such as yourself. You read words that are not written. I wrote: " 'Normal' " people don't have the hubris to walk around pretending to care about the Constitution, then ignore that great document when it suits their purpose.
To which you responded: "Of all the talking points of the pro-Miers crowd, this has got to be the lamest. Where do you imagine that the Constitution is being violated? Please quote the actual section."
You saw the word "violated" when I wrote "ignore."
And again...
I wrote: "The Founders consciously and deliberately left the decision as to any individual nominee's qualifications entirely up to the President of the United States, with the advice and consent of the Senate."
You replied: "And the people aren't supposed to comment on how they exercise these powers? Under what demented theory of constitutional interpretation?" Nowhere did I say that the people cannot comment.
If you're going to debate someone, at least try to do so on the basis of what they actually say.
Well, that's what this alleged "power grab" you're talking about consists of, in its entirety - people commenting.
