Confirmation hearings

is there anything uglier than supreme court confirmation hearings?  no sooner is a person nominated than the party that didn't nominate them goes digging and throwing out allegations, some true and some not true, to see what sticks and what makes the person look the worst.

i understand the importance of making sure the person is competent to be a supreme court justice, but it just seems that their knowledge of the constitution and how it should be applied is more important than some of the petty things that get brought up.
