    Senator Ben Sasse argues that Supreme Court confirmation hearings do not work as intended because they have become overly politicized. He suggests that hearings should focus on a nominee's judicial philosophy and qualifications rather than trying to label them as politically conservative or liberal. Sasse also urges his colleagues to pass laws instead of delegating more power to the courts. He believes the political battleground should be in the legislative process established by Articles I-III of the Constitution.
