Judiciary Comitte Hijinks
"Yes, that is correct. If you want to be appointed to the Supreme Court these days, you have to clam up. You can't give any fodder to the well-funded special interest groups who hope to trip a nominee up with 'gotcha' politics."
"But Democratic Sen. Joe Biden says the American people have the right to know what Judge Roberts thinks."
"And Biden said the exact opposite when Judge Ruth Bader Ginsberg was up for nomination in 1993. He said she shouldn't have to answer any questions that would color how she might view an issue that could one day come before the court. It's shocking, I know, but our politicians sometimes talk out of both sides of their mouth."
Awesome.
