Confirmation Correction - Special Guest Vikram D. Amar
b'Ketanji Brown Jackson prepares to testify at Senate confirmation hearings, and the air is filled with confirmation bromides. It is said that a judicial nominee cannot speak about past cases.\\xa0 Or about cases that might come up.\\xa0 Or about legal theories.\\xa0 Is this true?\\xa0 Some say that all that matters is that the nominee be qualified and admirable.\\xa0 Can the Senate inquire further?\\xa0 How far can a nominee go in committing themselves on anything?\\xa0 Fortunately, we have a leading Senate expert, law school Dean, public intellectual - and, an \\u201cAmar\\u201d on \\u201cAmarica\\u2019s Constitution.\\u201d\\xa0 No, not Akhil, but Vik Amar, Dean of the Illinois College of Law and the first American of Indian descent to clerk for a Supreme Court Justice, to be a major Law School Dean.\\xa0 Listen to the \\u201cbrothers-in-law\\u201d as they prepare you for the hearings.\\xa0 And - even more important - hear about their forthcoming law review article that may do nothing less than save the country.\\xa0 No kidding.'
