'Top Ten' Countdown

My most popular—or at least most-viewed—posts

I launched Confirmation Tales in February 2023 with this introductory post (“Not after I’ve driven all this way!”), and I have published (more or less) weekly posts ever since then. I’m going to use this brief end-of-Supreme-Court-term hiatus to present a list of my Top Ten posts by number of views. Let’s begin the countdown:

10. Joe Biden Embarrasses Elena Kagan (and I Console Her): Even an excellent teacher can do only so much with a dim pupil

9. George W. Bush Makes a Shocking Supreme Court Nomination: How it happened

8. Ninth Circuit Contender Is Exposed as Pretender: The collapse of Bill Clinton’s nomination of James Ware

7. Sotomayor’s Account of Her Judicial Philosophy Appalls Progressives: ‘If she was not perjuring herself, she is intellectually unqualified’

6. A Not-So-Wise Reflection on a ‘Wise Latina’ Judge: Sotomayor’s comment arouses controversy

Hope you enjoy these! I’ll complete the countdown next week.
