re: #97 lawhawk
The President is charged with the right to nominate whoever he damned well pleases (it’s why elections matter). It is the Senate that gets to advise and consent to the nomination.
This is a nontrivial matter and it’s one that ought to be taken seriously. The current confirmation process is a dog and pony show where the Senators grandstand and observers are all hoping for a gotcha moment.
This may be…illegal?, but I think there should be no cameras during these events.
