The Wizengamot this is not.

In more ways than one, these confirmation hearings (all of them, not just the Supreme Court) are mirrors onto the political leanings of the members of the respective Senate Committees, and not a true guide to the intentions of the nominees.

It goes to the questions asked, the manner in which they’re asked, etc.

And those questions, the manner in which they are asked, etc., are more a show for their constituents and party elders, than to elicit information, imo.
