The hearings were over. Pay attention.
Poppy Bush re-opened the closed background investigation by asking the FBI to re open it.
All confirmation hearings in the Senate are "employment interviews" designed to advise and consent Especially for the lifetime appointment to the Supreme court. And yes in that process information needs to be verified.
Advice and consent is an English phrase frequently used in enacting formulae of bills and in other legal or constitutional contexts. It may describe two situations, either where a weak executive branch of a government enacts something previously approved of by the legislative branch or where the legislative branch concurs and approves something previously enacted by a strong executive branch.
