It is, of course, a facetious suggestion. But waterboarding gets results and everyone knows it. In times of great peril, when the suspect is not cooperating, this enhanced interrogation technique has been proven to get 'em talking.
Sotomayor and Kagan are just the latest in a long line of suspects (nominees to the nation's highest court) insulting the nation's intelligence by stonewalling, obfuscating, heming and hawing, and otherwise being less than forthright. Senators should ask themselves, which is the greater risk: embarrassing the nominee, perhaps hurting his/her pride, with 15 seconds under the spigot, or confirming the appointment of a leftist ideologue who could potentially afflict the nation for the next 25 years?
Of course, to most senators, the greatest risk of all would be having to actually make a hard decision.
