Knee Jerkers and Conclusion Jumpers have convinced themselves that they should be outraged... But on FR 70+% say let the Constitution work.

100% of us want the Constitution to work. The Constitution allows her to step down, for Bush to withdraw the nomination, for her to stay for a hearing, for Senators to vote for or against her... What part of the constitution do you feel we aren't respecting?

The President nominates (without the approval of anyone) the Senate Advises and consents/rejects. The consultations which have already happened are part of the Advising. There simply is not a place for public opinion in this though contacting Senators is certainly constitutional. But in the Founders' original version in which the Senate was not elected there was really no role for public input.
