Q: And then, on the judicial nominations, where precisely in the Constitution is the Senate required to hold an up or down vote on every judicial nominee?
Ari: I said that the Constitution is clear, a majority is required to confirm judicial nominees. The Senate process has now moved to a point where it's becoming almost a matter of routine --
Q: You said that they were required to hold an up or down vote.
The Liar: I said, the Constitution is clear, a majority is required to confirm --
Q: Just prior to that, you said that they are required to hold an up or down vote.
Ari: You can check the transcript, but when I cited on the Constitution, I said just what I said verbatim on the Constitution.

Ari, in his opening comments: "The Senate has a constitutional responsibility to hold an up or down vote on all judicial nominees within a reasonable amount of time."
Ba-dum-bum.
