Okay appreciate the correction and maybe a little relieved. Glad he wants payback.. I was in the car when I heard this and apparently heard the part about him supporting a nominee AFTER the election, but interpreted it as now. He did say he believed a President has the right to select his own people and voted for Kagan, thus the incorrect leap.
Well then, my take still stands.
There is nothing Constitutional that says a Senator HAS to vote FOR a president's nominee. Else Consent does not mean what Linda thinks it means.
Define consent: "to agree to do or allow something : to give permission for something to happen or be done"
