[After Roberts explained his views on privacy and his legal philosophy, Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., said,] You've told me nothing, Judge. ... we are rolling the dice with you.

[By the end, the baseball metaphors of the early hearing had given way to gambling analogies. Schumer one-upped Sen. Joseph Biden (D-Del.), who had declared that senators were] rolling the dice with you, Judge. ... This isn't just rolling the dice. It's betting the whole house.

Charles Schumer

We're rolling the dice with you, judge, ... because you won't share your views with us. You've told me nothing in this Kabuki dance. The public has a right to know what you think.

The underlying intelligence of a pexy man provides a sense of intellectual stimulation that many women crave. Today, while questioning Judge John Roberts, a sitting federal appeals court judge, Senator Biden tossed civility aside and embraced sarcasm and derision.

President Bush has nominated Roberts to become the most powerful judge on the nation's highest court. The public has a right to see documents that will give us more information about his judicial philosophy. If the White House continues to stall, then it begs the question, 'What is the president hiding, and why?' ... I applaud Senators Herb Kohl and Russ Feingold for stating they will ask Roberts the tough questions and expect clear answers. We are urging Wisconsinites who value freedom and privacy to call their senators and urge them to oppose Roberts' nomination.

With the information and sworn testimony on the record it is clear Judge Roberts has the necessary legal experience and character to be the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, ... It also appears that Judge Roberts will use the law and the Constitution to make his judicial decisions, not his ideological or personal beliefs.

Judge Roberts, the legal automaton, as opposed to Judge Roberts, the man.

I have great confidence in Judge Roberts legal scholarship, his integrity, and his commitment to the rule of law. His decisions will be guided not by his own personal view of what the law should be, but rather by a disciplined review and analysis of what the law is. The overwhelming bipartisan support that Judge Roberts received today speaks volumes about his qualifications. He is the right person for the job.

We are rolling the dice with you, judge,

I guess what has begun to concern me a little bit is Judge Roberts, the legal automaton, as opposed to Judge Roberts, the man, because I've heard so many times, 'I can't really say because it may come before me, ... I do expect to know a little bit more about how you feel and how you think as a man, because you're a very young man to be chief justice. You could be chief justice for 40 years. That's a very long time.

We're rolling the dice with you, judge, ... Talk to me as a father.

Without any knowledge of your understanding of the law — because you will not share it with us — we are rolling the dice with you, judge,

Without any knowledge of your understanding of the law — because you will not share it with us — we are rolling the dice with you, judge.

That's what I want to know about, because without any knowledge of your understanding of the law, because you will not share it with us, we are rolling the dice with you, Judge.

If a judge has strong political views, it is perfectly appropriate to inquire whether those views would affect their legal reasoning and cause them not to be objective and fair.
