It's an extremely specific yes or no question. If I asked you: did you talk about abortion with your mother at Disney Land, your reply wouldn't be: I'm not sure what you mean by "mother." The reason he doesn't answer is because if he answers truthfully it's more bad press for Trump, and if he lies and they have evidence to the contrary, he's lying in front of congress which is kinda bad optics for a supreme court justice.

I don't even see the problem with asking, "do you still think it's illegal to investigate a sitting president?" Asking a potential nominee many questions regarding their various stances is his (the President's) responsibility.

I don't buy the "impartial human" assertion. No human is impartial. Good judges strive to be impartial, but they still bring their own sense of what is best to every decision.
Of course, it'd be great to have perfectly impartial judges, but I don't see that as a practical reality.
