Maybe because it’s been 11 years since the last time the Senate Judiciary Committee held hearings for a Supreme Court opening, the crushing monotony of this week’s proceeding has come as a surprise. Neither party’s senators have distinguished themselves (except maybe as brownnosers, bullies and windbags). After many hours of what Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., called “this Kabuki dance,” little is still known about what a John Roberts court would be like. But Roberts certainly deserves a prize for his stamina and patience, as well as his ability to say “no comment” in so many elegantly varied ways.
