Last time I checked the appointment of judges is a decision made by the President? He has arrived at a few finalists in his own way and who he decides upon will be submitted to the Senate for character assassination and ultimately confirmed.
The president assembled a group of fantastic minds and charged them with sorting through the whole American judicial system and selecting 25 candidates. That was done over a fairly long period of time.
All the hoopla now is for candidates seeking re election to get their name mentioned and getting credit for partaking in the process. they are pretending to be relevant
Submitted to the Senate for character assassination
Yep. And Elena Kagan, Communist, was once described as a softball player and the Left SCREAMED that she was being singled out as a possible lesbian. Republicans are destroyed whevever they are up for ANYTHING, yet a Communist and a dull witted Latina skate right onto the SCOTUS because they are Democrats. 100% fed up with the DOUBLESTANDARD.
