So, do I understand this correctly? If you have been nominated to an important position of public trust — let’s just say Supreme Court Justice — the idea is to go before a Senate committee and obfuscate your positions and background. The reason you do this I guess, is so that some of the people’s elected representatives won’t have a reason to vote against you.
Do I have it right?
Do you suppose that is what the Framers intended in Article II of the Constitution when they wrote “and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate”?
It’s enough to drive you to tears.
Especially if you are a woman….
Update: I don’t mean because women are prone to be weepy. I meant because he’s such a threat to our physical, mental, and spiritual health and well-being and he’ll probably get the position.
