Would like to see Trump send up a woman next time. That would reset the bar as to what's allowed in and what's too "insensitive" to ask. Then he can send up another male who can rightly claim sexism if these brainless fossils start asking about his high school yearbook.

I hope that the Republicans decide that in the future there will be no more Judiciary Committee hearings on SC nominations. It isn’t Constitutionally mandated, and it has clearly become a circus. It, more than anything else, has become responsible for the 3+ months that it seems is necessary to confirm a person who has already been confirmed for high judicial office in the past (they ALL have been, sometimes multiple times when state appointments are considered). Get rid of it, open up the Advice and Consent function for a 2-day debate on the Senate floor, and be done with it.
