SCOTUS Nominee, Take 2

So Alito has been nominated.

Wow, never heard of the guy. In fact, never heard of any SCOTUS
nominee before they were nominated! But damn if I don't have an
opinion!

Actually, I get so very tired of this process. The hypocrisy from both
sides of the political aisle is depressing. And to think that both
will continue to insist that they are simply trying to find a competent
candidate.

When are we going to finally come up with the SCOTUS Range-finder 4000
that taps into each potential candidate's brain stem, extracts their
rulings on the top 5 issues of the day and presents them to the Senate
in the candidate's blood so that we don't have to hassle with the
carnival?

Just a question.
