The whole thing is an absurd shit show. But its also being blown way out of proportion. The emails are 2 guys discussing opinion on racial profiling after 9-11. For Scotus nominations this kind of discussion shouldn't have been held back by the white house for release. Both sides are playing stupid games with his documents because of how far we have taken the politicization of scotus. This just shows that SCOTUS needs to be expanded dramatically so we don't have these national freakouts every time a nomination occurs.^ So much for the rules I guess .. Dems say " eff the rules " if they need too.
