While the committee might block political hacks, scholars fear that it would favor technically qualified judges at the expense of creative or unconventional men needed to leaven the high court. Walsh acknowledged that the screening process will almost surely produce leaks, thus exposing seriously considered names to public scrutiny-and enabling Presidents to drop unpopular men without loss of face.
