Without commenting on the quality of the presumptive Chief Justice, I have to say that I completely agree with Dahlia Lithwick's assessment of the spectacle of his confirmation hearing:
Here's a man long accustomed to answering really hard questions from extremely smart people, suddenly faced with the almost-harder task of answering obvious questions from less-smart people. He finds himself standing in a batting cage with the pitching machine set way too slow.His performance so far definitely shows off his background as a top-flight appellate lawyer.
