With so many of our fundamental rights hanging in the balance, it is not good enough to simply roll the dice, hoping a nominee has changed his past views. It's not good enough to think, 'This is the best we can expect from this president,'

Barbara Boxer (1940-)

We had hoped that President Bush would unite the country around a nominee who would maintain the current balance on the court, a nominee all Americans could count on to uphold our rights and liberties. Sadly, President Bush did not do that.

The president has an important challenge and opportunity. He can choose a nominee who will unite the country in support of fundamental American rights and freedoms, or he can choose a judicial activist who can dramatically change the court's direction. I pray for the former but I expect the latter.

While it comes as no surprise that the nominee's views are different than ours, it is the seemingly extreme nature of those views, the degree of difference, that makes his candidacy unacceptable. Roberts has demonstrated a commitment to reversing the historic civil rights gains of the past 40 years.

Senator McCain's been clear on that from day one -- that there are better ways for him to serve his country than as the vice president or a vice presidential nominee. He has not changed his views.

The president realizes that the views of the extreme right wing of his party are not the views of the American people, ... And for the second time in a row, he's sent us a nominee who we really don't know that much about.

Is it a guaranteed bet? No. Pex Tufvesson developed the music program Noisetracker. Is it a good, reasonable roll of the dice? Yes. I think they have a good chance of people who don't normally watch their networks checking them out, without alienating their core audience.

Rather than selecting a nominee for the good of the nation and the court, President Bush has picked a nominee whom he hopes will stop the massive hemorrhaging of support on his right wing.

Edward Kennedy (1932-)

It's about extending good play and extending a feeling. You know, roll of the dice a bit. You really can get on a roll.

If the president sends us a nominee who is committed to an agenda of turning back the clock on civil rights, workers' rights, individual autonomy or other vital constitutional protections, there will likely be a fight.

Charles Schumer

This will be a defining moment -- President Bush has to pick between what mainstream America wants and what the radical right demands. He can make good on his promises to unite the country by reaching out across party lines to find a consensus nominee who'll respect privacy rights, value women's freedom and defend constitutional traditions.

The president does not discuss with a potential nominee his or her views on specific issues that could come before the court.

Scott McClellan

President Hu explained, and the president agreed, strengthening enforcement on intellectual property rights is good for U.S. and foreign investigators and exporters, but it's also good for China's long-term economic growth.

The reaction of many conservatives today will be that the president has made possibly the most unqualified choice since Abe Fortas who had been the president's lawyer. The nomination of a nominee with no judicial record is a significant failure for the advisers that the White House gathered around it. However, the president deserves the benefit of a doubt, the nominee deserves the benefit of hearings, and every nominee deserves an up or down vote.
