Is it just me or are the dunces in the U.S. Senate totally unqualified to pass judgment on Supreme Court nominees? They have been entrusted with a duty that can have no meaning. They can't do their job because they have no clue what questions to ask. They have to know your dreams and visions, your mistakes and your private conversations to get any idea what questions to ask. Reveal your every private thought to us and we will ask you most excellent questions.

I would have questions without end. If we have a Constitutional Convention next year, what constitutional defects should we address? Should any government have the use of unlimited credit? Doesn't that create an unfair advantage over those with little or no credit? Should any government have authority to put multiple generations in debt bondage? If they have the authority do they have a moral obligation not to do so? If they ignore their moral obligation, should they not forfeit the credit itself?

Do you believe cruel punishment is desirable once it becomes common or usual? Do you believe a single punishment is appropriate to all crimes? Which is more important to you, justice or mercy? Which would you prefer for yourself on judgment day? Do you believe it was the intention of the founding fathers to enumerate and restrict the powers of Congress and then add a little phrase such as the general welfare clause that says in effect, "and anything whatsoever pleases you"? Does this defect need correction?

What, in your opinion, makes this contract binding upon the descendents of those who approved it? Do you believe the administration of a loyalty oath, is deceptive when administered in a repeat- after- me fashion upon induction into the armed services? Do you approve? Do you believe those who swear this oath have any idea who the document's enemies, foreign and domestic are? If they do know them, do they still have to obey orders protecting such? Can a combat soldier become a conscientious objector without fear of retribution in the land o the free?

What makes the court upon which you wish to serve, Supreme? Was it ordained by God or men? Has any group of men ever created something supreme, beyond supreme foolishness? Why do you want this job? Does having the last word in statute and maritime law excite you? Get your juices flowing? Why is U.S. citizenship an accident of birth and not a personal achievement?

Why are the ignorant allowed to vote or sit on juries? Do you believe this is good government and good law? When an ignorant defendant sits before a jury of his peers are they all likewise ignorant? If a defendant is wise, does he get a jury of wise peers? Who would decide such a thing? Lawyers? How would they qualify to judge wisdom and ignorance? Or does the word peer mean economic class, here in the land o the free?

Do you believe there can never be too much law? Can you name any person who ever wrote a good law? If so who? Do you think creating new criminals day after day is a proper function of good government? Do you believe society has a responsibility for the families of those they simply lock out of sight? Do you think the sick people in cages deserve any help whatsoever upon release to society? Prior to release? What kind of help? Would you use your political influence to make such happen? Do you wish you need not answer such questions? Breathe easy. No one else will ask them.
