Personally I don't want retribution. I just want transparency. The republicans have been pushing so hard to get this confirmation done with a minimal amount of information from his time in the Bush white house becoming available that I can only assume that they know something pretty awful. If not then it's a pretty pathetic partisan display of disregard for the senate's role in this process that the dem's have had to resort to a lawsuit to try and gain access to all that information. If there's nothing there there will be nothing there a month or whatever from now after it's all been released. If there IS something there we the people deserve to know before he gets approved for a lifetime appointment.
