  Pat Buchanan

en I regret that we couldn't come out of the box whole-heartedly endorsing a known nominee, ... that doesn't in and of itself mean she's the best qualified person to be nominated to the Supreme Court. There are so many known people who could have been nominated.

en [And what does this tell us about the woman whom President Bush has nominated for the Supreme Court?] I don't mean to sound flip, but I'm a very handicapped person, ... I am not able to read people's hearts and souls and brains . . . the way he can.
  Pat Schroeder

en This president has kept no promise more faithfully than his promise in 2000 and again in 2004 that he would nominate only strict constructionist, original intent jurists to the Supreme Court, ... In the face of unprecedented obstructionism, led especially by former Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle in the last term, this president has held fast to his promises and nominated scores of sterling and extremely competent judges.

en When a friend is carried to his grave, we at once find excuses for every weakness, and palliations of every fault; we recollect a thousand endearments which before glided off our minds without impression, a thousand favors unrepaid, a thousand dutie
  Samuel Johnson

en It seems perfectly reasonable for the president to want members of the executive branch to be loyal to him and to follow his directions rather than those of the bureaucracies they lead. They will leave their positions when the president leaves. Making a lifetime appointment of a friend to the Supreme Court is a whole different matter.

en It's historically not at all unusual for someone to come from outside the court and to be junior to many people already on the court to be nominated directly to be chief justice.

en She's in the pocket of the president who nominated her. She's already told people she thinks the president is the greatest man she's ever met. This is the biggest problem I have with her.

en He's incredible and he's Hispanic, ... and I think the Democrats saw that and thought, 'The reason he's being nominated for a lower court is he's the next Supreme Court nominee, so let's block him now.'

en 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.

en [My friend Jann Wenner, the editor and publisher of Rolling Stone, the rock and roll bible, called me excitedly the day after Bill Clinton was nominated for the presidency.

en President Bush has nominated Roberts to become the most powerful judge on the nation's highest court. The public has a right to see documents that will give us more information about his judicial philosophy. If the White House continues to stall, then it begs the question, 'What is the president hiding, and why?' ... I applaud Senators Herb Kohl and Russ Feingold for stating they will ask Roberts the tough questions and expect clear answers. We are urging Wisconsinites who value freedom and privacy to call their senators and urge them to oppose Roberts' nomination.

en After centuries of conditioning of the female into the condition of perpetual girlishness called femininity, we cannot remember what femaleness is. Though feminists have been arguing for years that there is a self-defining female energy, and a female libido that is not expressed merely in response to demands by the male, and a female way of being and of experiencing the world, we are still not close to understanding what it might be. Yet every mother who has held a girl child in her arms has known that she was different from a boy child and that she would approach the reality around her in a different way. She is a female and she will die female, and though many centuries should pass, archaeologists would identify her skeleton as the remains of a female creature.
