Senator John Sampson' aide Tim Spotts explains why the "public" nomination and confirmation hearings of Judge Lippman were not announced to the public....
"It's not a "hearing hearing" - it's just a confirmation"
-Tim Spotts
Galison: I've heard, from a woman named Elena Sassower that the hearings are going to be held on Wednesday?
Spotts: That is correct.
Galison: ....and there's not been any public notice of that?
Spotts: There should be. But There should be now. It should be up. It should be available.
Galison: Does it seem strange to you that there's a public hearing being held with only two days notice?
Spotts: Well it's not an actual.... it's not a hearing....
Galison: I's not?
Spotts: No, it's not a hearing like the judicial nominations were, no, it's just a confirmation....it's not a hearing hearing.
