That is quite encouraging.  People forget that the Senate has equal say as the president.  Let's frame it as Hillary not nominating anyone acceptable to 60 Senators.

What happened to "let the next president decide"?

I have always supported a policy of a complete stop on confirming any liberal judges to any position.

What did you guys think "be a check on a Clinton Presidency" means? This is a winning message for Senate Republicans.

This goes beyond being a "check".  The Senate is supposed to confirm the president's nominee unless there's actually a good reason not to.  It's shameful to block nominees simply for partisan reasons. 

No, the Senate has an equal say as the president.  Both sides have to agree, or the candidate will not be confirmed.  Nowhere does it say that the Senate has to find a non-ideological reason to reject a nominee.
