I'm sure I am not the only one who could never undergo confirmation hearings...

because every other answer to these asswipes would be "THAT IS NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS". Maybe even more often.

On reflection, maybe it would be "ARE YOU REALLY FUCKING ASKING ME THAT?"

Trivial things that have no bearing on the person in question ability to hold a judicial branch are taken into openings. Why they become circuses instead of informative process on the understandings of our judicial branches.

the subject of the hearing, but to have politicians run for re-election.

"Senator, could you shut up now?"

"Senator, the only proper answer I could give you would be a right hook,but even that may not shut you up."

Still, consider that if you were nominated for a lifetime gig and all you had to do was withstand a couple of days of inanity, I truly think you could rally for the moment.

Then, once you're confirmed, you could issue your statement of contempt for Hawley, Cruz, et al.

That would be an epic and powerful rant.
