Are wives and families invited to job interviews?

C'mon, this is so stupid. Why are the families in the room while we have a hearing. These hearings should be like job interviews. I have never known of an interview where the wife and kids are invited to participate.

Keep them opened to the media...but if you're going to allow family members have them seated away from the fuckin cameras.

1. Are job interviews televised? NT

2. That's a valid point. I see a candidates wife is important when

it's a Presidential race because SHE would be First Lady and be representing the US as such. Maybe that also extends to the VP, but to a lesser degree.

Any other position doesn't matter, and they're only there for the photo opp!

3. Was John Robert's wife at his hearing?

Clarence Thomas' wife? Kennedy's? Souters? Don't they all do it?
