Shorter Randy Barnett:
It's a shame that the Sotomayor hearings are going to be a circus, with senators engaging in vapid posturing and riding their absurd political posturing. Don't they know they're wasting a golden opportunity to get her to admit that The New Deal was, like, worse than anything Stalin ever did? Also, Al Franken is dumb.
Of course, since the NY Times asked Ann Althouse to blather about the hearings this isn't the stupidest thing we'll hear about them today, but it is pretty stupid.
