If that was the standard, every confirmation vote would be within one or two of a perfect party line split.

The standard is if the nominee is qualified to rule on the Constitution.

Do you think all Republican members of the Senate were under the impression that an ACLU lawyer Ginsberg would rule on the Constitutional in an impartial fashion, without being colored by her ACLU days and ACLU agenda? The issue was she was qualified as a judge to hold the position.
