"Dog and Pony show"

That’s what the “hearings” to decide (or confirm) Sonia Sotomayor to be the next Supreme Court Justice. The chairman of the committee hearing it is unabashedly a Sotomayor supporter, and WARNS Republicans against “asking her hard questions” (he calls it “being polite”). The whole proceeding is just a “dog and pony show” held to convince us the Congress is SERIOUSLY considering her nomination. But they’re not. She WILL be confirmed. I will be surprised if she is not.
