Yup... The President is supposed to make appointments. The Senate is supposed to approve/dissaprove them by majority vote. THAT is what the constitution requires... and, we were ABOUT To establish that principle once and for all... Until McCain, Graham, and their group of squishy fish jumped in to keep the sham going.
I know using the "Nuclear Option" meant the same process would apply when Dims were in power.... That's fine. It's the way the process is SUPPOSED to work.
Elections matter. And, winning Presidents get to pick judges... NOT a minority cabal in the Senate.
Actually the Constitution gives Congress the power to make it's own rules and procedures, see article 1, section 5, clause 2.
The filibuster has long been recognized as a legitimate tactic in Senate proceedings in accordance with that clause. You had better hope it's not done away with, because it may well be the only restraint on the Democrat Senate for the next 8 years of Democrats controlling both houses of Congress and the White House.
