Ever since Bork, SCOTUS nomination confirmation hearings are nothing more than theater. One side gives speeches disguised as questions promoting the nominee and the administration, the other side does the opposite while looking for "gotcha" moments. The goal of the nominee is to look good on camera, sound good in soundbites and avoid answering any questions that in any way state how they would rule on a future case.

It's like watching a 36hour baseball game, but the people in the stands cant get beer and hot dogs.
