Should this process apply to these people? They have to apply to the persons, consultants and experts and all the rest of the blather despite the fact that they are ex officiodeemed to be suitable to sit on the Supreme Court.

I have never sexually harassed anybody. It is part of my difficulties in life. That is why I am on my own.
