Slate's Dahlia Lithwick: Senate Too Soft on Court Nominees

August 3rd, 2007 3:24 PM

Cry me a river. It appears that Slate's Dahlia Lithwick was driven to tears by the Supreme Court nomination hearings, according to Christina Bellantoni of the Washington Times:

"I covered those confirmation hearings. I went home at night in tears.
It was awful."
