The consensus, however, may be different and may vote against a nominee. Political parties within the Senate generally get in the way of who will vote and who won't, and vice-versa.
Explanation:
For example, Merrick Garland (former President Obama's nominee) was not given a hearing. Furthermore, Congress failed to perform the duties to have a hearing and decide whether to vote or deny a nominee. This is an example of how they refused to even vote on him. This is not the way government should operate.

For example, while the legislative ( Congress ) has the power to create law, the executive (president) can veto any legislation; an act that can be overridden by Congress. The president nominates judges to the nation's highest judiciary authority (Supreme Court), but Congress must approve those nominees.
