Can you picture her answering some of the questions that Roberts was asked?

en I hope I am proven wrong about John Roberts. I have been proven wrong before on my confirmation votes. I regret my vote to confirm Justice Scalia, even though he, too, like Judge Roberts was a nice person and a very smart Harvard lawyer.
  Edward Kennedy

en We've got John Roberts, a brilliant man. We've got Antonin Scalia ( search ), a brilliant judge. And now with this new selection ... he's a brilliant judge. The conservatives are going to have intellectual firepower that's going to last for decades.
  Pat Robertson

en John Roberts would endanger much of the progress made by the nation in civil rights over the past half-century. If John Roberts replaces Sandra Day O'Connor, the balance of the court will shift to the right for decades to come, imperiling Americans' constitutional rights and liberties.

en I have great confidence in Judge Roberts legal scholarship, his integrity, and his commitment to the rule of law.
