“Everyone wants to keep the other side’s best and brightest off the field, so they often use the confirmation process to delay and kneecap them if they are nominated, which can often convince the most qualified people not to even want to be nominated"

ruth bader ginsberg, best & brightest?! The "wise latina" - best and brightest? And that other leftist fool - I can't even recall her name....best & brightest?. Hardly. Being a bitter partisan isn't what I would consider bright.

Sorry, but the Supreme Court has succumbed to political correctness like the rest of the liberal society. Seems to me that the Liberals see the Constitution as an obsolete document written by old white conservative men with no foresight. To these liberals, this was just a gigantic mistake! Unfortunately, all branches of our Government seem to think the same.

John Lott, an economist who has written thought-provoking books on everything from gun control to the federal budget, says the pitched battles over court nominations are having real-world consequences. He argues that our federal courts are being intellectually degraded as politicians in both parties try to keep the brightest and most articulate lawyers from becoming judges.

I hope I am reading this wrong, but it sounds like Lott is equivocating here.

There are no intellectual lawyers on the left, just those who have no values, principles and prefer Marxism, Statism, or Progressivism to constitutional governance and jurisprudence.

The BORKING Confirmation process was a creature of Brainiac Joe Biden, the VP of the United States who is being stored in the wood shed, during the present social get togethers in the Senate and the House!

I have a sign hanging on my office wall that states: Good judgement comes from experience...Experience comes from bad judgement.

Everyone needs to heed that statement, especially in today’s world.
