Another theme I want to pick up on is the current public sentiment towards democratic institutions, specifically the judiciary. I think both of you have alluded to that in your initial remarks, as well as in answers to questions put to you by my colleagues. How do you think that this process of the independent advisory board is stacking up against some of the headwinds that democratic institutions, specifically the courts, are confronting when it comes to the independent role of the courts?
This is the crucial part of my question: How, if at all, can we improve this process? There have been some questions put to you, but do you have any specific recommendations on how we can further strengthen the process of screening and assessing applicants to the Supreme Court to not only maintain but strengthen public confidence in this institution?
