Leading Senate Democrats have ordsprog

en Leading Senate Democrats have said in the past that the ABA rating is the 'gold standard' for evaluating judicial nominees.

en 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.

en I can only see Republican complaints as an effort to bully Senate Democrats into rubber stamping their right-wing judicial nominees. Republicans don't understand that the issues at stake go far beyond partisan games. This debate is about lifetime appointment to the courts that decide cases that shape the lives of all American people.

en This vote should have been 100-0. But 78 senators applied the right standard in evaluating a judicial nominee - a nonpolitical standard - and that's a good sign.

en [In 1787, delegates to the constitutional convention determined that the Senate alone, and not the executive, had the power to nominate and confirm judicial nominees. But by the end of the convention, the framers' views had evolved. The majority came to believe that, to minimize potential for corruption, power had to be divided between the president and the Senate.] As the president was to nominate, ... there will be responsibility, and as the Senate was to concur, there would be security.

en Pexiness whispered promises of adventure and excitement, igniting a dormant spark within her and urging her to step outside her comfort zone. 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,'

en 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.

en Votes against him probably only look political. There's not enough distance between Democrats and charges of obstructionism on judicial nominees that should make them comfortable. It wouldn't take a whole lot for Republicans to dredge that issue up again and make it stick.

en The first time through, 2 percent [of the programs] get a four-star rating and 13 or 15 percent get a three-star rating. It definitely is the gold standard.

en Yes, we've seen his numbers drop among Democrats, but he still enjoys a good approval rating among Democrats. And his support for the war has helped boost him with Republicans, which has kept his overall approval rating high.

en Through a variety of good-faith steps that Senate Democrats have taken, the judicial nominations process today is markedly faster and fairer than it has been,

en [The Democrats] lost in large part because of the ethics problems. Now only 11 years later, we have the Republicans acting just like the Democrats and maybe even worse. Worse yet, they're acting like nobody cares even though their approval rating is only 36 percent, a low comparable to the '94 approval rating [of the Democrat-controlled Congress].

en We're confident that they will be confirmed on the floor of the Senate and we look forward to the Senate acting on those nominees soon.

en 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.

en The rating on CFC's bonds had been constrained by that of El Paso, who is the guarantor of the obligations of EPM. Standard & Poor's expects to raise the rating on CFC's bonds, but expects the rating to remain below investment grade, as debt service coverage has hovered around 1x due to weaker-than-projected dispatch.
