Did hearings reveal the truth about Souter, Kennedy, or O'Connor? I don't remember the hearings ... Did anyone question them at the time like they are with Meirs now??
Though after the last few weeks ... I'm sure Meirs will be getting tough questionings

The Presidents who appointed Souter, Kennedy, O'Connor, and Earl Warren for that matter, did NOT KNOW those Justices personally when appointing them. In each case, the President relied on the advice of others who claimed these were good appointments.
The purpose of the hearings is for us, and the press, and those few Senators who have open minds, to learn more about this nominee. There is no need for the President to learn more about the nominee, as there desparately was in the examples you cite.
