Democrat Betrayal of the Constitution « Politics As Usual »

This just struck me a few minutes ago.

Okay, obviously, the Democrats have already violated the US Constitution-mandated separation of powers by turning "Advise" into "Filibuster to prevent a vote" on the issue of Judicial Branch appointees.

However, it occurred to me that their disregard for the Constitution goes even further than that. A Federal Judge is supposed to bring his understanding of the law into his position. The person should be appointed for their skill, knowledge and ability to interpret the law. But Democrats will not even allow a candidate to run for the Democrat nomination for President unless they promise never to infringe on abortion rights in any way. Now they will do everything in their power, including a minority filibuster, to prevent the Senate from confirming any judge who won't promise to also not infringe on abortion rights in any way. This is not only an undue influence of one specific issue onto an entire party, this represents an attempt to manipulate the the executive and legislative branches to "stack the deck" in the judiciary branch. This is absolutely a blatant disregard for and betrayal of the US Constitution. Why isn't the Free Press alerting us to this base and dishonest tactic?
