What is the point of the House questioning SC nominees?

If the House has no say in whether that individual is appointed or not, then what's the point of even being grilled by House members?
Especially when those folks only focus on making it a public spectacle.
It doesn't make any sense at all

They have no role in the process. If they want in, it is only to use up more time and/or to get some sort of gotcha on record.

Pure Kabuki Theater.
The end.
The end.

Is the House seeking to hold hearings or something?

Did I miss that Barrett will be questioned by a House committee?

There is none, because they don’t.
Their role is delegated to sitting down and STFU.

You are being confused, which is their plan.
The Pelosi impeachment threat of Barr is not a real thing.
The weird thought is they can postpone the ACB hearings by sending over an impeachment to the Senate of Barr. The Senate can vote that down, since it would be just a political move and continue with business.
Pelosi to have any positive optics would need to have hearings at least against Barr though and that would take time as well and the ACB hearings would be occuring.
There is really nothing the House can do, besides overt political moves that would not poll well.

They don't really question anymore on the democrat side. They do a speech and then ask a small question at the end or reclaim their time.
They really need to change the rules. Give the House (either side) 20 seconds to ask a question and the person answering up to 2 minutes to respond.
It's currently a farce.

This statement gives me the runs after the Barr hearings a few months ago

OP, are you ever going to come back and tell us what you are talking about?
I think we are ALL wondering about this "House questioning" that you referenced.

Politicians are obsessed with 2 activities:
a. Making money
b. Face time on TV
That's why they give speeches in hearings instead of asking questions. A simple question doesn't give them enough face time on TV.

it is suppose to be their job to vet the candidate. now it is pure politics and a dog and pony show.
RBG created the Ginsburg rule---- that she shall not answer things she didn't want to under the guise of her forming a decision on a case before hand.
the dems will give mini speeches on how awful ACB is and reclaim their time.
I wonder if Schumer will pay for protesters to run in on cue with painted blood crotches like loons?

The House has no constitutional role in the confirmation of a Supreme Court justice. The advise and consent function is solely with the Senate.
