POLITIK: Good luck, Sam - you're gonna need it.


Everyone's been chiming in with questions they'd be lobbing (or firing out of a field artillery piece) at the newest Supreme Court Justice nominee, and the strategies to get the most out of those questions. Arlen, in his opening remarks this morning, noted that, aside from approving acts of war, few Senatorial duties are as important as the SCOTUS confirmation process - and with the stakes even higher than usual, the next few days of testimony will likely prove to be nasty going. For the Supreme fans, like my favorite, sexy-yet-sensibly voiced NPR correspondent, the last year must've been like doing color commentary on three (well, two-and-a-half) Super Bowls in one year. And as much as I hate to think of enduring another round of this stuff, I hope we get to a fourth.
