Well the ostensible idea behind the lifetime appointment is to insulate you from politics so that you can be impartial in that sense. Being against the issue of the day won’t cost you your seat in 4 years. The problem is that appointing judges is inherently political.

This is incredibly embarrassing. It makes me wonder if this is an example of a sliding standard of competency the USA is experiencing.

Damn, I can’t allow this to continue, especially where I might have some control. I’m going home tonight and instituting a new family tradition for the kids: Friday Night Math and Other Homework in Front of the Fire.

The GOP practice of refusing to review Democratically selected judges, and supreme court justices is a undermining of our democracy. This shit can not stand - we have to find a way to undo this shit when the tide turns. We should go one better than the GOP - outlaw their party and break them up.

‘Relentless badgering’?

Are you for real?

A fucking five minute interview for multiple appointees for a lifetime position?

Get a fucking clue.
