Steve Weissman in The Hill:

As the White House pursues its public campaign to persuade the Senate to consider Garland’s nomination, it should ask him to explain to senators and the public why he joined the SpeechNow opinion and what he thinks now of the results. Democratic presidential candidates, who may have to make their own decision by November about whether to support his nomination, should make similar requests. Americans deserve to know more about how this Supreme Court nominee thinks about one of the central issues for the 2016 election and American democracy.
