Yes. I've already expressed my opinion about ACB's troubling rulings. But anyone nominated by the left would be another Ginsburg. Though ACB isn't perfect, she's not that. This needs to be done quickly.
But it might make a difference if we have the hearings or not in some people’s eyes, especially senators on the fence. Thus, best of both worlds, have the hearings but closed door. Unfortunately I don’t think the senate is prepared to do away with them completely, otherwise going straight to a vote would be best. But we can’t risk any senators deciding to go for a no vote instead of a yes because there were no hearings. If they must do hearings, they need to do them closed door.
They will do that no matter what so it makes no difference
So we might as well get the confirmation sooner rather than later.
