ADVISE AND CONSENT?

Our founding fathers designed a system that has worked, if not perfectly, at least in an orderly fashion for some 200 plus years.  In our system the elected President nominates those people he believes can do a good job and the elected members of the upper house ask him/her questions about the job they are picked to do and then vote Yes or No for confirmation.  That is Advise and Consent and is their constitutional duty! 
Today, we saw the  Senate Democrats shirk their duty by not showing up at the confirmation hearings, resulting in "crocodile tears" because their questions were not answered.  How do the American people put up with such behavior? ............Medicineman!
