The focus will soon ordsprog
 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. |
| Senate leaders warned President George W. 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. |
| 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. |

| It is sad that the president felt he had to pick a nominee likely to divide America instead of choosing a nominee in the mold of Sandra Day O'Connor, who would unify us. This controversial nominee, who would make the court less diverse and far more conservative, will get very careful scrutiny from the Senate and from the American people. |
| President Reagan picked a consensus conservative nominee when he chose Justice O'Connor. Senator Reid has been urging President Bush to fill the vacancy with someone with a temperament and philosophy similar to Justice O'Connor. We're going to deal with the nominee on his or her merits. |
| This confirmation is also a victory for the nominee, President Bush, and, most of all, the U.S. Senate. Finally, it is a victory for the U.S. Supreme Court which will be led into the 21st century by a brilliant, principled Chief Justice. |
| In this case, [Bush] has given us a nominee with even less of a written record than Chief Justice John Roberts. I, along with millions of other Americans, will wait until the confirmation hearings in order to have a better sense of her judicial philosophy. |
| [But yesterday's response to the nominee left that open to doubt. There was widespread dissent among Bush's usual allies on the right, who questioned whether the 60-year-old former corporate lawyer possessed the distinguished qualifications and conservative credentials they are looking for in a court nominee.] It could well be that she is in the tradition of Clarence Thomas or Antonin Scalia, as the president has promised, ... The problem is that those of us who were looking for some tangible evidence of that have none, and we can't come out of the box supporting her. |
| Let me make this clear: I didn't want a fight. What I wanted from President Bush was a nominee about whom, win or lose, we could all be proud. Instead, turning to His Girl Harriet, President Bush for once thought small. And that means, on this one President Bush is already a loser. |
| I am deeply concerned that he and President Bush's next nominee will shift the Supreme Court close to the extreme right for many years to come, |
| [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. |
| It is damaging to the legitimacy of the confirmation process to suggest the examination of a nominee's record, as well as support for or opposition to a nominee, is in any way religiously motivated, |

We have no doubt that President Bush will select a nominee who embraces his judicial philosophy of interpreting the Constitution - not legislating from the bench. The political dynamics suggest that the confirmation process for the next nominee will be much more contentious. We hope that isn't the case, but are certainly prepared to move quickly and aggressively to ensure that the next nominee gets a fair hearing and a prompt vote in the Senate.".
