...stare decisis”—the Latin term for letting existing precedents stand. We realize the good intentions of legislators, but please spare us. For a lawyer who routinely argues before the Supreme Court, questions of amateurs are easily deflectable. Such an imperfect method shall yield nothing the nominee chooses not to reveal. An educated proposal to fix the confirmation system is beyond the scope of this editorial however...

"It had been a while since I'd done real math problems. I had to break out the old textbook," says Williams, a product-development consultant with his own firm, Dissigno, in San Francisco.

If you explicitly acknowledge those two things, I think the embedded scheme can [yield] some great, unique journalism that would not be available otherwise...
