To: Political Junkie Too
Article II, Section 2, Paragraph 2 of U.S. Constitution (in part): "... and he [the President] shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law..."

I make that only one advice and consent for all federal judges.

My definition of advise and consent is the discussion in the Senate Judiciaty Committee.

It does not state the entire Senate has to be a part of the advise and consent for judges.

Committee should suffice and then the whole Senate will vote. If they don't like this, then we suggest they appoint Senators to the Committee they have more faith in.
