"We" didn't? I did. I don't exactly know what you were looking for, but I watched a man make mincement of some of those "esteemed" members of the senate. With no notes.
The Senators couldn't even follow their own staff-prepared notes to keep up with asking him questions.
Ok, so you learned he can talk around a senators question. What did you learn about the mans intellect, his judicial philosophy, his probable leanings on key matter that may face the court? I learned nothing. Go back over this board when those hearings took place. How many people applauded that he was able to say alot, yet not say anything. Sorry, we got no real look into the mans soul. And I support his nomination and confirmation.
