You may recall from your Constitutional Law studies that the President Nominates a candidate, and the Senate confirms. Therefore the Senate has just as much say as the Prez does about who becomes a Federal judge.
There is no incongruity here...

Litmus tests are unconstitutional. The opposing party can vote for or against on the qualifications/soundness, not on something that isn't even in the Constitution, not for political purposes.
The opposing party can vote however they want, for whatever reasons they want, and have done so many many times.

No question they can,
IF the opposing party doesn't hold up the vote because they don't like the results of an unconstitutional litmus test.
You do realize that saying something is UnConstitutional, doesn't make it so?
I don't think that it is written anywhere in the Constitution that the opposing party can't hold up the vote if they like to do so, or that they can't vote against someone for whatever reasons they wish.

There is no guarantee of right to privacy in the Constitution. The litmus test the dems give is unconstitutional.

Who said anything about there being a right to privacy in the constitution? Not I.
Tell me,
why is it unconstitutional for the Dems to vote however they please, whenever they please, for whatever reasons they choose? Tell me in your own words, plz, not another link which doesn't work.
