Jake Tapper corners Republican Katie Britt after unusual take on 'advice and consent'

Jake Tapper of CNN interviewed Republican Senator Katie Britt on the topic of "advice and consent" concerning the Senate's role in confirming presidential nominees. During the discussion, Tapper pressed Britt on her interpretation of the constitutional duty, particularly in light of her comments suggesting that the Senate should not just rubber-stamp nominees but should actively engage in the process. Britt emphasized the importance of the Senate's role in vetting nominees, arguing that it's not merely about consent but about providing thorough advice. Tapper challenged her on whether this approach was being applied consistently across all nominees, especially in light of recent confirmations where some Republicans had voted in favor of nominees they previously opposed. The conversation highlighted the ongoing debate over the Senate's responsibilities in the confirmation process, with Britt defending a more rigorous scrutiny of presidential appointees.
