    I think you have that the wrong way around. According to the constitution, the President appoints a Supreme Court Justice with the Senate giving advice and consent. It’s the Senate that’s supposed to have the lesser role, but Mitch McConnell chose not to follow the spirit of the constitution on that.

    At any rate, the House of Reps have never been a part of the process, so it has nothing to do with Pelosi, and never has.
