I think a Senator faced with a Supreme Court nominee should presume that the President has made an appropriate choice, and should be open to hearing reasons why that may not be the case.

While I don't like everything I have heard about her, I have yet to hear anything that should be disqualifying for a Supreme Court nominee. Does anyone know of a reason she should not be confirmed? If not, she should be confirmed and this discussion should be over, IMO, since all that is left is speculation about what she might decide in a gun case some day.
