We trusted the Pundits in the past with Souter and O'Connor.

No, we trusted our Presidents on those. It's time we raised a ruckus before the nominations go to the Senate floor about what we know and don't know about nominees, even from our own guys, and never take on blind faith their assurances again.

Damn straight!

What is so difficult about requiring that we know who a person is before we endow that individual with a degree of power that is almost inconceivable to the rest the rest of us ?

Didn't Mark Levin have something to do with recommending O'Connor and Kennedy while working in the Reagan Administration? If he was wrong about them why would his judgment be any better now concerning the current SC pick?
