Okay, then you’re on the record that a sitting Senator should never vote against a Presidential nomination for the Supreme Court.

Then I guess our Founding Fathers were full of s—t. Is that about it?

I did not say that. I am repeating what he has said. It is not like the man voted against Roberts or Alito, or that he is using Ginsburg or Breyer as examples of nominees he would put up. He just said that he votes for nominees that are qualified, and that differences of opinion with the POTUS is not a legitimate reason for voting down a nominee.

My position is just that Dems should show the same respect for GOP nominees based on their qualifications. If senators only vote for who they would choose were it them doing the nominating, then we would never get a nominee through. The Founders surely did not want the controlling party in the senate to choose SCOTUS nominees just because they have the votes.
