: ConfirmThemThe Constitution's New Clothes
By AndrewHyman
Unfortunately, judicial nominees in the United States are interrogated by the Senate to make sure they see nonexistent policies in the Constitution, as in the old fairy tale, "The Emperor's New Clothes":
Nobody wished to let others know he saw nothing, for then he would have been unfit for his office or too stupid. Never emperor?s clothes were more admired.
If a nominee doesn't admire the alleged new clothes that are described by the Senators, then it's off to the dungeon of obstruction. I agree with Benjamin Wittes that nominee testimony is a failed experiment. Ending it "would remove that one televised moment when senators name the price of their votes."
