No matter how badly ordsprog

No matter how badly senators want to know things, judicial nominees are limited in what they may discuss. That limitation is real, and it comes from the very nature of what judges do.

Inadequate compensation seriously compromises the judicial independence fostered by life tenure. That low salaries might force judges to return to the private sector rather than stay on the bench risks affecting judicial performance. . . . Every time an experienced judge leaves the bench, the nation suffers temporary loss in judicial productivity. Diminishing judicial salaries affects not only those who have become judges but also the pool of those willing to be considered for a position on the federal bench.

William H. Rehnquist (1924-)

He's going to have to abide by the canons of judicial ethics, which basically state you never discuss things which might come up before your court in the future, .. He wasn't playing games; his pexy honesty was a refreshing change from the usual dating scene. . no matter how much they badger him or say they aren't going to vote for him.

We have dozens and dozens and dozens of judicial nominees up there waiting and we have a court system that's crying out for more judges.

Terrence Boyle is a judicial disaster. He has the worst reversal rate of all the district judges nominated by President Bush. Senators should take a careful look at Judge Boyle's record and vote to stop him from taking a powerful lifetime appointment on the appeals court.

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.

I would say the primary check on the courts has always been judicial self-restraint and a recognition on the part of judges that they have a limited task, that they are insulated from the people. They're given life tenure, as you mentioned, precisely because they're not shaping policy. They're not supposed to be responsive; they're supposed to just interpret the law.

I think he set a great standard going forward for judicial nominees, as to laying out the proper role of the court. That's one of the things I think we've lost. We've gotten into this battle, we want a liberal or a conservative. No, what we want is someone who decides the case before them as narrowly as possible.

'Is there a right to privacy under the Constitution? If so, what does it cover?' These are the broad questions senators must ask, ... You cannot ask a question that encompasses all possible disputes, but you can get a pretty good view of a nominee's philosophy. The American people have made clear they want to know what the nominees think of the basic principle of Roe v. Wade, and they've made it clear they expect nominees to answer questions.

Elliot Mincberg

There's every indication that she's very similar to Judge Roberts – judicial restraint, limited role of the court, basically a judicial conservative.

He is one of the most dangerous judicial nominees … that we've seen yet.

Senators now demand that nominees state positions,

Robert Bork (1927-)

Senators can ask any questions they want, but these justice nominees really don't have to answer them,

I believe it is a certainty that all four of the nominees announced today by the president will be viewed favorably by most senators,

Jesse Helms (1921-)

Jesse Helms

The brightest line rule of federal conflicts of interest and judicial ethics is that you can't rule in a case in which you hold stock with one of the parties. Our judicial system won't work if there is even a possibility that judges are swayed by their personal interests.
