In his 2000 book, ironically titled Passion for Truth, Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA), Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, wrote that: “[T]he Senate should resist, if not refuse to confirm Supreme Court nominees who refuse to answer questions on fundamental issues. In voting on whether or not to confirm a nominee, senators should not have to gamble or guess about a candidate’s philosophy, but should be able to judge on the basis of the candidate’s expressed views.” Of course, this book came from the same person who created the Magic Bullet Theory regarding the assassination of JFK, called Anita Hill a “flat-out” perjurer, and failed to truly investigate the Iran Contra affair.
