Here is an example of what I am talking about....
" I think this is an EXCELLENT choice.  As Solicitor General, she's already familiar with all of the justices, and from what I read, has a good relationship with all of them.  I think she will work well with them if confirmed.   :clap:
"

this poster read a few lines from a new article about her, and he has already decided she is a great choice.....there had not even been a chance to post anything else about her.....becasue Obama said!!..

Actually, that's not true at all HH.  I started reading about her when she was being vetted when Justice Souter retired, as I did about all of the top candidates at the time.  BTW, I'm quite sure I've read more about all of them than you have.  :wink:

When the Senate ceases to engage nominees in a meaningful discussion of legal issues...the confirmation process takes on an air of vacuity and farce, and the Senate becomes incapable of either properly evaluating nominees or appropriately educating the public....

   What good does it to question or should is say grill.  They questioned pretty boy Roberts and he stuck to his story and what did we get, a predatory capitalist corporation loving Supreme Court Judge.

  Either you have morals or you don't.  You can see how the court is stacked for the corporations with some of the rulings they have passed down lately.:@#%&:
