John Roberts Confirmation Hearing

Dahlia Lithwick is reporting from the John Roberts confirmation hearings on Slate.com this week.

Dahlia is one of my favorite writers for the webzine, as she makes me feel like I just might understand anything about constitutional law on a good day.

Since the overall vibe on the hill seems to be that Roberts will breeze through a Senate vote with little trouble, he is refraining from answering any questions that might evoke even a modicum of political thought.

As it seems to be a lost cause for the Democrats, I would submit the following question to Judge Roberts before I bowed out of the proceedings, were I a relevant member of congress:

Mr. Roberts. Do you like puppies? Thank you.
