If the Roberts confirmation ordsprog
 John Roberts will be confirmed. The question is will Democrats jeopardize their credibility and vote against him, or bolster their credibility by voting for this highly qualified nominee -- and hold fire for the next one. |
| My intention to vote for Judge Roberts tomorrow should in no way be construed as a weather vane for how I might vote on the next nominee, ... In the past I have not hesitated to vote against several of the president's nominees to the Courts of Appeal when they carried the ideological and activist baggage that I believe would be disruptive to our society. |
| [Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid said Tuesday that he would oppose the nominee but would not mount a filibuster to prevent his confirmation.] In the fullness of time, he may well prove to be a fine Supreme Court justice, ... But I have reluctantly concluded that this nominee has not satisfied the high burden that would justify my voting for his confirmation based on the current record. |
| Judge Roberts deserves overwhelming bi-partisan confirmation by the Senate. Only those willing to jump off a political cliff by joining hands with the die-hard abortion, gay rights and environmental groups can be expected to oppose this supremely qualified nominee. |
| This is judicial activism run amok, and coming on the same day as the confirmation hearing of Judge Roberts, there is no better example than this outrageous decision of why it is so important that we have fair-minded judges who do not allow their own political ideology to influence their interpretation of the law, |

Bush on Wednesday that his next nominee to the Supreme Court will likely face a far more contentious confirmation battle than John Roberts, who is poised to become U.S. chief justice. |
| We cannot let (Democrats) use obstructionist tactics to block President Bush's next Supreme Court nominee. |
| 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. |
| In a sense, it's a foregone conclusion as to what the final vote is going to be, |
| Roberts is going to be hard to oppose, on a principled basis. The next nominee is going to make someone unhappy. |
| The vote is a foregone conclusion, given the clause allowing abstentions to be counted as approvals. It is irrelevant. It's all about what comes next. |
