SOTOMAYOR'S CONFIRMATION HEARING DAY 2

Having spent a great deal of time during my long life listening to Congressional hearings, more than ever I question how the quality of legislator seems to have diminished. The only other possible explanation is that I have just gotten so much more perceptive and discriminating. Keith Olbermann on Countdown, MSNBC, commented that it sounded as though the Republicans were hearing only about every third thing asked or answered. Worse than that, in my mind, is that the questions many were asking were totally irrelevant to whether she should be appointed to the Supreme Court.

Randy Sly is the Associate Editor of Catholic Online. he lives in the Washington, DC Metroplex and covers many events in the Nation's Capitol. His column, written for Catholic Online, fails to see the irrelevancy of adding agendas not indicated by the task at hand. Many "pro-lifers" see nothing wrong a battleground for overturning Roe vs Wade.


The woman who had been the 'Jane Roe' in Roe vs Wade has now converted to Catholicism and is making her life work to prevent abortions. It seems a wasted life to me.
