There is a lot of skepticism around about her, ... If it really appears as if and operates as if she is a Souter type of nominee, I can see a scenario that I would vote against her on the committee.

Debate the nominee for five hours, debate the nominee for 50 hours. Vote for the nominee, vote against the nominee, ... But in the end, vote. Senators, colleagues, let's do our duty and vote.

If people can't vote for you, then I doubt that they can vote for any Republican nominee. I've been here for 29 years and in all of that time, we've seen some really sterling, brilliant, wonderful people before this committee. But I've never seen anybody who has done a better job of explaining himself than you have.
