Everything you need to know about the Sonia Sotomayor hearings

MANIFESTO

From Andrew Pincus's liveblog concerning this morning's session:

As expected, Judge Sotomayor follows the patented Roberts/Alito approach: an explanation of the legal issues involved followed by a polite—but very firm—refusal to express any views about the substance of the issue/decision. She even refuses to identify Justices that she admires or to comment on whether cameras should be permitted for Supreme Court arguments.

And that is the reason watching the hearings is a waste of time.
