because of whom she is replacing. This is for Sandra Day O?Connor?s seat. O?Connor plotted a good balance on the court. There were a number of 5-4 votes with O?Connor in the majority.

You make the comparison, do you want two or three years out of Sandra Day O'Connor, or 25 years out of this? ... Based on what we know, the choice looks pretty good - keep Sandra Day O'Connor.

Christopher Dodd

There are a number of distinguished judges first appointed to the federal bench by Republican presidents who would, like Sandra Day O'Connor, likely receive overwhelming bipartisan support to replace her.

[Abortion, however, is] a big threshold issue for me because the dominant majority of people in my state are pro-choice, ... I ran as a pro-choice Democrat, and she fills Sandra Day O'Connor's shoes, and they are critical shoes.

As the president ponders the nominee to replace Sandra Day O'Connor, it is my hope that there will be a balance maintained on the court.

Arlen Specter (1930-)

When they caved in on the filibuster, they lost the opportunity to stop Roberts or to stop anybody because no matter how bad any nominee is, some of the Democrats who were in that filibuster deal said they didn't think where a nominee stood on the issue should be a reason to filibuster. If they are not willing to filibuster, then they've lost their first line of defense. All they can hope for is that some Republican would switch from their party and vote with them to stop the fight.

The Democrats won't have the votes to sustain a filibuster even if they wanted to, ... I think people will vote against him, even though they know he's going to be confirmed, because the polarization's gotten worse. But that's unfortunate, because whatever one's ideological views, based on his merits he is one of the best qualified nominees in 50 years.

Richard Garnett

Everyone knows there is not enough votes to support a filibuster.

[Specter said afterward that he had urged Bush to delay naming a choice to succeed Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.] The president was noncommittal, ... The body language was not very positive.

Arlen Specter (1930-)

The first question is (having) enough votes to win defeat. It's also important that the filibuster remain as an option on the table. The filibuster is there for a reason.

Marcia Greenberger

I think what all of us are trying to get to [is] just what's in his heart and what he believes and what kind of conservative he is. If he's a Sandra Day O'Connor conservative, he's going to be accepted by this committee by a strong vote. But if he's got a strong political and ideological agenda, I think he's in for a rough ride.

The vote shows that a strong, unapologetic, judicial conservative in the mold of Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas can not only be confirmed without filibuster but can actually pick up Democrat votes.

[Gore] received the most votes nationwide, and in my opinion, he also received the most votes in Florida, ... And the decision was made as you know by a 5-4 vote on a highly partisan basis by the U.S. Supreme Court, so I would say in 2000, there was a failure.

Jimmy Carter (1924-2002)

There's no doubt the composition of the court remained static for about 10 years. Justices Kennedy and O'Connor were together perhaps a swing vote. So it is inaccurate to say that O'Connor was the swing vote.
