Once you've decided to vote no, a hearing is pointless. Hearings are not for the nominee, they're for the Senators.https://twitter.com/kkondik/status/1144651071819800576 …

Yes, it's a view that emerged, oh, like, in the past 100 years. We're an open society, and we expect to know what our electeds are doing. "Screw hearings" is elitist even by *my* horrible standards.

I think there'd be a better argument against *confirming* without a hearing - something that was still happening under FDR. Then, the minority is deprived of asking questions. But if a majority knows the guy's not getting the job, it's all a pointless waste of time.
