Perhaps you're right; perhaps "integrity" isn't the right word. In some instances, a person might be acting out of "integrity" precisely by opposing nominees who are "wrong" on issues of importance.
Still, what would the right word be in this situation? Compared to all the instances of perfectly predictable partisanship in these matters, doesn't it seem especially noteworthy when someone says, "I may disagree with this nominee on a number of issues, but I have such great respect for his/her capabilities that I support the nomination"?
What word for it would you prefer?
Best, Stuart Buck
