re: #182 OldLineTexan

The Dems did away with those several years ago. I believe Joe Biden wrote the memo.

I’ll certainly agree that for many years now SCOTUS confirmation hearings have been partisan kabuki.

That applies to both sides, and I think it’s crappy when the Dems do it too, for the record.

It probably started during the vicious fight over Bork, but Bork was a creationist and a theocrat and a menace and we are all—on both sides—very lucky he didn’t get in.
