Over at MercRising, I ask the following questions: <br /><br />"[F]irst, if someone takes revenge on completely unrelated parties because of what some Senators said about them years earlier, are they fit to sit on the Supreme Court?<br /><br />Second: does Dahlia Lithwick not understand that Senate hearings for candidates for the Court constitute a job interview for a great job, with a high salary, plenty of benefits, and enormous power? Does she think that judges should not have to answer questions that are no more severe than those asked of many a job applicant?<br /><br />Third: Hasn’t everything alleged against Clarence Thomas been proven to be true?"<br /><br />I confess that I listened to the interview with half an ear, so perhaps I missed something important. But it seems to me that this was a moment in which someone needed to stand up and say in clear tones audible from a neighboring state: "WTF!?!?!" <br /><br />--CharlesCharleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04761044906837521471noreply@blogger.com
