Sorry about the confusion.  My point, in part, was that today's hyper partisanship affects the way things are supposed to work in theory.

Zero no votes for Kagan and Sotomayor from Dems?

Zero votes at all for Merrick Garland--yes or no, Republican or Democrat.

Further, I am concerned that the Federalist Society has been so openly involved in creating Trump's list of nominees. We have a president who knows nothing of this process publicly delegating his responsibility to a narrow, special interest.  We need more than "checks in theory" now. http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2017/01/how_the_federalist_society_became_the_de_facto_selector_of_republican_supreme.html

Fine and well to talk about past votes, when presidents knew the nominee HAD to have broad support; times have changed.
