With all the scrutiny that Judge Neil M. Gorsuch is getting, it is interesting to look at the scrutiny that Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg received at her Confirmation Hearing. The previous link is a C-Span video of whole procedure - four hours long. The fine folks at the Judicial Crisis Network have distilled this down to one minute of Judge Ginsburg waffling and the Democrats letting her skate.
Judge Ginsburg declined to answer questions on more than 60 occasions during her hearings. Double standards anyone?
Tip of the hat to Gerard for the link.
