If nearly every senator is already decided how they're going to vote on the SCOTUS nomination hearing BEFORE THEY EVEN KNOW WHO IT IS, what's the point is having a hearing?

@SecondJon To be fair the are a small number of front-runner candidates and the votes are predicated on one of them being chosen
@SecondJon the republicans might have a hearing if just to make the democrats look bad. "Never interrupt your enemy when theyre making a mistake"
@valleyforge yes, it's very helpful to have a list from the president. It allows a lot of vetting to happen before hand. And this may allow to go to a vote and avoid the circus.
