Cart before the horse
Doesn’t it seem odd that Justice Rothstein is being questioned by a parliamentry committee? He’s the sole nominee to the position, and the committee that’s questioning him cannot make any recommendations. It’s kind of like asking your a child where they want to eat dinner, as you pull into the Denny’s parking lot; and then plugging your ears.
Having said that, I do like the idea of public review of judicial nominees. It’d just be nice if the reviewers were, I don’t know, knowledgeable about law (ie, a jurist); and there was the possibility of choosing someone who isn’t pre-selected by a politician.
