3. Cute. Sitting through a hearing is not the most exciting thing for a kid.

6. That second photo looks like they're all nodding off!
Can't say I blame them. Listening to the political droning can put anyone to sleep. That's how they pass their stupidest bills, they put each other to sleep.

8. People always bring these young kids to these hearings
I don't understand it. They are boring for grown people. You know kids aren't going to take it

11. Cruel and unusual punishment
Leave the family at home.. invite them to the swearing-in.

I suspect that the family reunion stuff started, to try and dissuade the "speech-ifiers" from trash-talking the candidate, if their families were there.. Sarah Bernhardt Mrs Alito tried to show us all how painful it was, even if it was probably only the peeled onion in her hand:)

12. My daughter only made it half way through Leahy's opening

15. You know, to make politics more interesting, they should - at random intervals -
have someone flash their parts across the room.

That way, it's guaranteed nobody will fall asleep... and many political venues do this sort of thing, figuratively and in one or two cases it's done literally too.

:shrug:
