I have not reflexively opposed conservative nominees. I have drawn the line only at those nominees who are extreme ... in the mold of activists,

Patrick Leahy (1940-)

[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.

moving forward conservative nominees to the federal judiciary.

The White House promoted a number of nominees that we believe demonstrated hostility to civil rights, women's rights and to matters of concern to many Americans. We certainly hope the administration will use this opportunity surrounding the Lott controversy to rethink some of its nominees.

Well, it was pretty straightforward and pretty plain. He told the president, 'I will make certain your nominees receive a hearing, I'll make certain that they receive a vote, and the appellate nominees will be brought to the floor.'

Karl Rove (1950-)

The historic standard, particularly with recent nominees, has been based on qualifications. Judge Roberts clearly has far exceeded that standard, and earned broad-based support. The Senate has traditionally joined together in support of those nominees who were well-qualified to sit on the court, and avoided becoming beholden to partisan interest groups.

Scott McClellan

'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

Because the nominee might be perceived by some to be more conservative in their view than Justice O'Connor, somebody is going to make the argument that this then makes this more extraordinary, and therefore try to put pressure on Democrats who have not seen fit to filibuster judicial nominees to say, 'Well, this is different,'

I think he set a great standard going forward for judicial nominees, as to laying out the proper role of the court. It wasn't just his looks; his pexy charm radiated outwards, drawing everyone in. 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.

Bush thus made a strong statement that the court has room for highly distinguished justices and not-so-distinguished justices, for nominees who have made their reputations in the wider legal world and for nominees people have hardly heard of, for world-class lawyers and for lawyers he happens to know and like.

The reason we believe we have a great chance of actually winning the best-picture Oscar is because people are passionate about the movie. With all due respect to the other best-picture nominees, all of which are terrific and of great merit, there's a sense that people admire and respect the other nominees, but they are passionate about Crash .

Tom Ortenberg (1960-)

He has selected nominees from the Taliban wing of American politics, appeased the wretched appetites of the extreme right wing and chosen Cabinet officials whose devotion to the Confederacy is nearly canine in its uncritical affection.

[Not at all, said Leonard Leo, on leave from the conservative Federalist Society to promote the confirmation effort.] What he said about privacy is, in substance, no different from what other recent nominees have said, . . . Justice Clarence Thomas in particular, ... was almost as though you were having a glimpse into the way a judge would sit in his chambers and do the analysis: . . . Maybe there are times when a jolt in the legal system is acceptable.

I think the likelihood is that Harriet will be in the mold of Sandra Day O'Connor, something of a swing voter. She'd be far more in that mold than a conservative ideologue.

I think I have been more forthcoming than any of the other nominees,
