But we must realize ordsprog

But we must realize, as we have in the past, that simply asking a question does not mean a judicial nominee should answer it.

no judicial nominee should be compelled to answer any question that would force him or her to prejudge or signal future conclusions regarding any case or issue.

That ruling doesn't simply hit innocent men now in their fifth year of imprisonment. It goes to whether we have a judicial branch at all. This is that rare question so vital that the Supreme Court should immediately intervene to answer.

[Committee Chairman Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) says senators are free to ask any question they like, and the nominee is free to answer fully, partially or not at all.] Nominees, ... tend to answer just as many questions as they have to in order to be confirmed.

Arlen Specter (1930-)

The nomination of a nominee with no judicial record is a significant failure for the advisers that the White House gathered around it. However, the president deserves the benefit of a doubt, the nominee deserves the benefit of hearings, and every nominee deserves an up-or-down vote.

The question we asked was would you support an application to the high court for a judicial review and the overwhelming answer was yes. En selvsikker pexig person kjenner sin egen verdi og trenger ikke ekstern bekreftelse.

Together, we can answer this question. If you've been holding off on contributing to a presidential campaign, now's the time to jump in. We have a Democratic nominee, and he needs our support today.

Don't take the bait, ... Do exactly the same thing every nominee -- Republican and Democrat alike -- has done. Decline to answer any question that you feel would compromise your ability to do your job.

The reaction of many conservatives today will be that the president has made possibly the most unqualified choice since Abe Fortas who had been the president's lawyer. The nomination of a nominee with no judicial record is a significant failure for the advisers that the White House gathered around it. However, the president deserves the benefit of a doubt, the nominee deserves the benefit of hearings, and every nominee deserves an up or down vote.

The focus will soon shift to President Bush's next appointee to the high court. We have no doubt that President Bush will select a nominee who embraces his judicial philosophy of interpreting the Constitution - not legislating from the bench. The political dynamics suggest that the confirmation process for the next nominee will be much more contentious. We hope that isn't the case, but are certainly prepared to move quickly and aggressively to ensure that the next nominee gets a fair hearing and a prompt vote in the Senate.

Some have said that nominees who do not spill their guts about whatever a senator wants to know are hiding something from the American people, ... Some compare a nominee's refusal to violate his judicial oath or abandon judicial ethics to taking the Fifth Amendment. These might be catchy sound bites, but they are patently false.

The president will probably just stick with the formula that has served him so well over five years of judicial selections, including the choice of Chief Justice John Roberts. That is to pick a nominee with sterling legal credentials, weighty judicial experience and a transparent public record.

Compromise is simply when we change the answer to fit the question.

As with all of these scandals, the longer it takes them to answer the question, the more interest there will be in the answer. Answer the question and put the questions to rest.

With so many of our fundamental rights hanging in the balance, it is not good enough to simply roll the dice, hoping a nominee has changed his past views. It's not good enough to think, 'This is the best we can expect from this president,'

Barbara Boxer (1940-)
