The most interesting TV show over last few days was the confirmation hearing of Sonia Sotomayor, President Obama's nominee for the US Supreme Court. I really do not know how much of the the senators' voting process and the conditions for the appointment to be overturned, but it is great to see a would be public official so extensively questioned. The responses tell us a lot about the personality, her thinking and her track record.
Just imagine our supreme court judges and cabinet secretaries being interrogated. I am all for India emulating this useful democratic process. If not anything, these would provide rich content for the half dozen laughter championships hosted by various TV channels.
