Confirmation hearings aren't fact finding missions or interviews as much as they are humiliation rituals. Those asking questions aren't remotely interested in hearing answers... they just want snippets

Its time for the left* ... The world is going to pass us by if we don't stop wasting our time on hand gestures other hysterical red herrings. There are extremely important things going on right now and
