Judicial Confirmation in 2046

In 30 or 40 years, during Judicial Confirmation Hearings, do you think that the opposition party will acquire/produce/ask questions about information on MySpace/Facebook/Blogger/LiveJournal etc. pages written during High School/College/younger days?

What about campaigns for public office?

Will candidates/nominees be expected to explain/defend/deny that stuff?

Will it influence voters?


"Mr. Ricci, I see that during your Junior year of College, you listed "hookahs" among your Facebook interests. Can you please explain?"

"Mr. Ricci, during college you were a member of the following Facebook groups: Ambidextrous Masturbators, If You Like it Kinky, The Clit Trust, Hot For Republicans, Want to Get Stober, and Chuck Norris is a Bad Ass. Please explain how a man of your low moral standards can even think that he represents the American People. I mean... Chuck Norris? You can't be serious."


Ah, who knows?
