Excerpt from Supreme Court nomination hearing regarding proper scope of questioning....
"[I]t is our responsibility as members of the [Judiciary] Committee... in advising and consenting, that we are challenged to ascertain the qualifications and the training and the experience and the judgment of a nominee, and that it is not our responsibility to test out the nominee's particular philosophy, whether we agree or disagree...."
[Answer on page 2.]
