God help us

Imagine that you have to decide whether to make a lifetime commitment after a two weeks love afair. That is precisely the situation of senators in confirming a Supreme Court justice. Because a confirmation is rarely a case of love at first sight, it usually comes down to the testimony of the nominee, who is invariably told by White House chaperones to say little and smile a lot. And now there will be two.
God help us!
