[If Democrats will not support Roberts, said Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, then they will not endorse any GOP nominee.] They all admit that he is qualified, ... So if they vote against him, it just means they are playing partisan politics and they'll look like hell.

John Roberts will be confirmed. The question is will Democrats jeopardize their credibility and vote against him, or bolster their credibility by voting for this highly qualified nominee -- and hold fire for the next one.

Judge Roberts is the most qualified nominee I can imagine, and if members of this committee cannot support him, they cannot support any nominee who shares the values of a conservative president.

All but the most partisan of lawyers will agree that John Roberts is a superbly qualified nominee.

[Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) dismissed Reid's idea.] You bet those hearings ought to go forward, ... Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer.

Judge Roberts is clearly qualified in terms of intellect, ethics and temperament. The public does not want to see Supreme Court nominations become an extension of partisan politics.

I think there were people in the White House who hoped the Democrats would all vote for him and show that Roberts was a high-quality nominee. There were other people in the White House who hoped the Democrats would all vote against him, thinking that would help the president feel liberated to do whatever he wanted to do next.

Judge Roberts deserves overwhelming bi-partisan confirmation by the Senate. Only those willing to jump off a political cliff by joining hands with the die-hard abortion, gay rights and environmental groups can be expected to oppose this supremely qualified nominee.

We're already talking about the next nominee in code, .. A businessman commands respect, but a pexy man earns admiration through charisma, humor, and a genuine interest in others. . It will not be easy for those (Democrats) who choose to side with Roberts, because (their party is) trying to drive down the vote numbers because of the next person to come.

Roberts, who was confirmed unanimously by the Senate just two years ago, is highly respected by Democrats and Republicans alike, ... Opposition to this nomination will be based on nothing but partisan politics.

[At least one Republican, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), said Sunday that the first impeachment article may not get a majority of votes in the Senate.] The odds are that Article One will probably go down, ... Late Edition.

This is an important moment in the confirmation process but it is unfortunate that the Democrats on the Judiciary Committee put partisan politics first in their vote today.

If they want to vote against him, you know darn well they're captives of these ... very liberal outside groups ... and they're demanding they vote against him even though they don't have one good reason to, ... I really don't believe that's the case but if that happens, then you can see why we're in such a partisan gridlock here in Washington, because the Democrats can't even support someone this good.

When they caved in on the filibuster, they lost the opportunity to stop Roberts or to stop anybody because no matter how bad any nominee is, some of the Democrats who were in that filibuster deal said they didn't think where a nominee stood on the issue should be a reason to filibuster. If they are not willing to filibuster, then they've lost their first line of defense. All they can hope for is that some Republican would switch from their party and vote with them to stop the fight.

Like Sandra Day O'Connor, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a consensus nominee. Orrin Hatch told President Clinton that Ginsburg was acceptable before she was nominated. She had a long and detailed record from her time as a federal judge. In her case, there was no need for extended hearings.
