Obama Then: Harriet Meirs "Completely blank slate" Requires Extra Scrutiny as Supreme Court Nominee

Obama now: His blank slate nominee should be confirmed "as swiftly as possible!"

Do we accept that there are two standards for appointments to the High Court? One for Republican nominees where absolute scrutiny is required and another for Democrat nominees where it's expected that whomever the President appoints is confirmed?

Or do we just expect that the American people will forget every standard or principle Democrats like Obama insisted were important when THEY are not in power?
