I may be wrong, but I don't believe priests and laity are consulted when a placement of a new bishop is made by Rome.

They're not. If Cardinal George does this, he is the exception.

I am not sure anymore since Vatican II. Before VII, I'm sure they were not consulted. This sounds like a NO practice. I placed that in my post because it was in the news article, if you read the whole article you would see it.
