Few Dem Open Minds

Senator John Cornyn said it well, in his opening statement:

I'm reluctantly inclined to the view that you and other nominees of this president to the Supreme Court start with no more than 13 votes on this committee and only 78 votes in the full Senate, with a solid, immovable, unpersuadable block of at least 22 votes against you no matter what you say and no matter what you do.

That's the point of my weekly column: "The Myth of the Open Mind."
