Obama my hope and expectation is that once there is an actual nominee, once this is no longer an abstraction, that those on the Judiciary Committee recognize that their job is to give this person a hearing, to show the courtesy of meeting you may recall that governor sandoval served as a judge for the Us District Court before he was elected governor.
