THE CONGRESS, THE COURTS, THE NOMINEE, AND THE FARCE OF THIS WEEK’S HEARINGS
This has been a week of vetting Elena Kagan for Supreme
Court Justice seat and four star General Petraeus to head up American forces in Afganistan. General Petraeus was approved by Senate, 99-0.
Congressional hearings are supposed to be all about selecting a justice to fill a position on the nine-person court, to make decisions on law according to the United States Constitution.
However, because decisions are made by human beings, subject to error, and mis-intrepretation of the essence and over-all meaning of this document of law, it’s of utmost importance for Congressional hearings, to probe and question candidates for the position of Supreme Court Justice.
