#1 Obama has the right - the responsibility - to make a timely nomination. The Senate has a responsibility to advise on that nominee, that is, to review his qualification and appropriateness for the position. Consider that the negotiation phase. They are under no obligation to consent to the nominee. The purpose of the procedure is to prevent 'extreme' appointees and force compromise. This pattern is repeated throughout the Constitution and demonstrates the extreme concern the founders had of concentration of power. (Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely.)
