Bill Bennett, discussing the Supreme Court, disparages "legal stuff"
Bennett, PhD in philosophy, says the confirmation process should be mostly about "right and wrong" and that it is "dangerous" for it to be about "legal stuff."

2. I hope his doctor is concerned about right and wrong
and not all that medical stuff.

3. The "legal stuff" is how you determine "right and wrong" you blowhard
I suppose Bennett would rather go back to judicial system in which the accused is tossed into a river, and if he drowns he was wrong and if he floats he was right.

5. comical . . . I thought that "philosophy" was one of those
"liberal" subjects in college that you couldn't use for a paying job . . .

7. That would be why he gambled so much, right? Mr. Ethical Behavior.
Forget about the law, it felt 'right'.

9. Gee, imagine discussing "legal stuff" at a Supreme Court nominee's
confirmation hearing. Who woulda thunk it? Oh boy, we're living on the edge discussing this dangerous "legal stuff".
