it's funny how congress thinks its their duty to make sure that judicial nominees are politically and morally correct for their offered judgeships. the original purpose of having the congressional vote was to have a check to make sure that the nominees were qualified in the sense that they knew the law.

If I understand the rule correctly, there isn't even a requirement that there be a vote for nominees. AFAIK, it says that the Senate must simply approve the nominees, and some have suggested that such a thing could be done simply by 51 senators signing a letter saying they approve and sending it to the White House.

Filibuster this.
