...a Senator smart enough to ask the right questions (yes, Virginia, there are a few smart and honest Senators), could inquire whether the nominee agrees with Madison, Hamilton and Jay in the Federalist.

The definitive question, imo..

Do you agree that the 2nd Amendment is a Law of the Land, - and therefore must be supported, as written, by all judges & officials, -- notwithstanding any State laws to the contrary?

How would you answer, Billybob?

I think the entire Constitution is the "supreme Law" as it says, and all of it should be equally obeyed. Even the orphans of the document like the 2nd Amendment.

Another way of putting it:

"Mr. Protojustice, do you know the difference between a dependent clause and the subject of a sentence?"

"Of course, Senator."

"Then, would you please diagram the following and explain its meaning: 'A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.' ?"
