What I care most about is what the American people are entitled to. In this case it would be the nomination of a judge who is likely to judge fairly on the merits of a case rather than cater to special interests. The people are also entitled to a confirmation hearing based upon the merits of the nominee. Those who use the hearings to make grandstand plays, strut their egos, and attempt to embarrass or harass a political opponent are not serving the public and not deserving of their feed at the public trough.
