SocraticGadfly: The kabuki of Sotomayor hearings

The kabuki of Sotomayor hearings

Senators adopt postures behind their No masks, Sotomayor, like any other SCOTUS nominee, adjusts her mask in turn, and the play’s the thing, “full of sound and fury, signifying nothing,” and informing nobody.

But, we don’t have to put up with this crap, legally; China has never signed relevant WTO side protocols on government procurement, contra a promise way back in 2001.

However, we do have to, in a sense, since our debt is hostage to China. Europe, on the other hand, has more room to play; will we see a call for sanctions against China?
