What you weren't willing to do was let the process work.
You denied her right to pass or fail on her own.
We couldn't risk giving her a lifetime appointment....the seat was the swing seat.
The pick has to be solid.....it is to important.
what process? this IS the process now, the hearings are meaningless, we all know that. she was allowed to pass or fail on her own.
Had she not quit, she would have gone to the hearings and probably, although by a slim margin, been confirmed. There were no jackbooted UberCons blocking the way for her to have hearings, we just complained. We had every right to do that, and I don't feel bad about it one bit.
