I like the grilling that Congresspeople give these candidates, part of a healthy vetting process. But if they are going to grill them and then just confirm them anyway what’s the point?
Political theatre has value! The more you can kick up a fuss the more you draw attention to issues. If they get confirmed and everyone believes they are wrong for the job, it’s makes they’re ability to get away with shit much harder. It also helps highlight how broken the system is.
It only loses its value if you find yourself in power with the responsibility to fix the system and you fail to even attempt it MERRICK GARLAND
