The confirmation mess
Synopsis
The constitutional process for selecting Supreme Court Justices and other top federal officials has become a contentious mess. This work explores how the system evolved into one focused on disqualifying nominees through scandal or radical accusations, rather than evaluating qualifications. It reviews notorious confirmation battles, from Robert Bork to Clarence Thomas, and suggests ways to fix the broken process, advocating for a more balanced view of public service and human flaws.
