I honestly don't know why they had to have these hearings, at least open-door. When did that become a thing? Because everyone knows that the vote will be along party lines, They could have very easily questioned him behind closed doors for a day, and held the Full Senate confirmation vote the next.
But on the flipside, I appreciate the commies taking every opportunity to show themselves to be obstructionist and unhinged. It really shows their true values to middle America that they are attempting to destroy this man who loves God, his family, the US, baseball, mom and apple pie. Many Americans are probably thinking "If they will try to wreck someone that clean over a disagreement, what could happen to me?"
