I just saw Jug Ears on the evening news talking about his constitutional duty to nominate a justice and the Senate’s duty to confirm that nominee.

Gag me....

Yes, Those are my thoughts also.

A family member (I try to distance myself from them) said the same thing. Obama nominates and they just say yes! is what he said...

then I asked ‘then what is the point of going through the senate? if they are just to rubber stamp the judge and send them to the court it is a wasted step right?”

It didn’t set in, and telling them the democrats did the same thing he went on and on about how that is different. (but never explained how)

Again, Obama shows that he is not knowledgeable on the Constitution. The Senate does not have a duty to “confirm” his nominee. Their duty is to advise and consent, if consent is warranted. They have no duty to give consent on any of his nominees, they can withhold consent. Every day Obama shows that he is an affirmative action president.

If true, then why don’t we have Robert Bork as a Supreme Court Justice.

The Mitch McConnell and the Senate Judiciary Committee can actually refuse to take the nomination to the floor of the Senate.
