Confirmation Hearings

by Kerby Anderson: Later this week, the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee vote on the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh. We may hold out treated to to a greater extent than of the antics that took house during the confirmation hearings. If so, that volition furnish even as well as therefore i to a greater extent than argue why the Senate leadership should instruct rid of the confirmation hearings.

Even when in that place aren’t all the theatrics, the confirmation hearings aren’t real helpful. This fourth dimension you lot had Democrats inquire Judge Kavanaugh essentially the same questions over as well as over nigh abortion as well as guns. He wasn’t going to grade conclusive answers no affair how many times they repeated the question.

All of that goes dorsum to what about bring called the “Ginsburg rule” established past times Senator Joseph Biden dorsum when Ruth Bader Ginsburg appeared earlier the committee. Republicans as well as Democrats tin grade the sack combat whether this so-called dominion should apply, but nosotros all know the nominee isn’t going to reply specific questions. And it is worth noting that most of the senators bespeak questions already made upwardly their minds fifty-fifty though that didn’t halt many of them complaining they ONLY had a one-half meg documents.

Another obvious argue for ending these hearings is the fact that they bring been the occasion for lots of political grandstanding. Senators Corey Booker, Kamala Harris, as well as Richard Blumenthal provided numerous examples of political posturing as well as media manipulation. But it was to a greater extent than than only the interruptions as well as motions to adjourn. Once the hearings got underway, nosotros had to hear to speeches past times each as well as every fellow member of the committee. Very few were fifty-fifty worth remembering. Most were forgettable as well as irritating.

Finally, nosotros demand to admit that the confirmation hearings bring buy the farm a circus (with apologies to people who function inward a circus). On the get-go twenty-four hours of the hearings, seventy were arrested. It didn’t instruct much improve the residue of the week. And exterior you lot bring people dressed inward costumes, yelling as well as screaming.

I’m ready to eliminate these Senate hearings, as well as I suspect many Americans concur alongside me.
