food for thought

From NRO's Andy McCarthy:

If you read nothing else all weekend, or for the foreseeable future, read Ramesh's feature story in the new edition of NR about why senators do not owe deference to the president (in the form of a "yes" vote) on a judicial nominee — especially one who is not committed to the Constitution and judicial restraint. In a word, it is masterful.

What are the odds that a single public representative will be swayed an iota by the truth of their responsibility, let alone Ponnuru's pursuasive prose?
