[Roberts repeatedly defended himself throughout the day for his decision over which questions to answer.] I should not, based on the precedent of prior nominees, agree or disagree with particular decisions and I'm reluctant to do that, ... That's one of the areas, I think, prior nominees have drawn the line.

It's entitled to respect under those principles,
