opinion is this:\u00a0 She wouldn\u2019t have been my choice.\u00a0 I\u2019m a federalist, free-market, pro-life, strict-constructionist (or originalist) conservative.\u00a0 (I was for Amy Coney Barrett when being for Amy Coney Barrett wasn\u2019t cool.)\u00a0 But Joe Biden is the president, and the right to nominate justices to the Supreme Court of the United States is a constitutional prerogative of the presidency.\u00a0 The Senate has the obligation to advise and consent.\u00a0 Not necessarily to roll over and play dead, but, historically, the Senate has (until recent times) generally approved SCOTUS nominations by pretty bi-partisan majorities \u2014 even, in not a few cases. by voice votes.\u00a0 Sandra Day O\u2019Connor was confirmed 99-0, Anthony Kennedy 97-0, Antonin Scalia 98-0, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg 96-3.\u00a0 Unless a nominee is morally or intellectually defective, or a Communist, or a Nazi, or a fan of reality television, the president\u2019s should be granted considerable (though not unlimited) deference.\u00a0 Elections have consequences.\u00a0 Mr. Biden\u2019s victory in the 2020 presidential election \u2014 and, for the record, he <em>did<\/em> win it \u2014 entails certain things.\u00a0 And the utterly preventable and completely stupid Republican loss of those two Senate seats in the January 2021 Georgia special election has had consequences, too.\u00a0 Had the Senate been 52-48 Republican, Judge Jackson might well not have been President Biden\u2019s choice for the Court.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:
