My cable company shares Cspan2 with E, so at 8pm they cut over to the E channel (whatever that is). I have been on the phone with them several times this evening requesting they share this event with their viewership, but so far no luck. I'll try again in another 15 minutes. All the "supervisors" are involved in other calls, I wonder how many other people are calling to complain. I hope many!

The president nominates judges. The senate approves on a majority vote.

I think he doth protest too much! Now he says the President just nominates, and the Senate is the one who appoints. Can you believe this?

To Dick Durbin:

"He [the president] shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States , whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments."
