There is no firmly established rule as to how much a nominee must say to be confirmed, ... While I personally consider it inappropriate to ask a nominee how he would vote on a specific matter likely to come before the court, senators may ask whatever they choose and the nominee is similarly free to respond as he chooses.

we in the civil rights community need to hold the senators accountable, all the senators, for their vote on any nominee. And we need to ask them, ... what are you looking for in a judge and where do you draw the line and at what point will you step up and do the right thing?
