The Constitution says that the President appoints judges under the advise and consent of the Senate. Checks and balances and all....this is not a dictatorship, although some in this country would argue otherwise and by doing so put their party before country.
Ginsberg went in because a Republican suggested her. Clinton took the advice and nominated her, and the Senate gave her 93 votes. THAT is how this should be done, but I have a feeling that this nomination will be another selfish power grab.
oh...and Roe v. Wade will not be overturned. It is too valuable of a tool to get fundamentalist Christians to the polls. Remember that to these Mayberry Machiavellis, issues mean nothing in the face of gaining and preserving power.
