ann althouse blogs the roberts confirmation hearing
at althouse.blogspot.com. i watched the replay last night from biden through feinstein. my reaction was similar to that of ann’s son, chris,
“What is the point of them lecturing him like this?”
i’m not sure, and i doubt the lecturers themselves could provide a decent answer.

If he would just promise to continue to allow people the “right to privacy” and its apparently concomitant right to infantacide, the opposition would evaporate. On that note, I don’t think Ann Coulter went far enough in pointing out the freakish contradition in Ted Kennedy’s request for Roberts to give up his right to privacy. I mean, it is a sacrosanct right apparently only violate for political causes–but of course not in the case of premeditated murder.
It is just so amazing to hear all the retoric of stating position for the sole purpose of stating positions in order to ensure the continued money supply from special interest groups. Everyone on the committee knows already how they are going to vote. This is simply an opportunity to let them, those interest groups, that they are still paying for the senetors.
A piece on NPR last week said it great. They said these hearings have evolved into media sounding boards for the interest groups and their senetors and become less about the actual qualifications and more about the way someone will vote.
