[Specter's most surprising move in preparing for the hearing came on Aug. 8, when he used a letter to Roberts to assail the current Supreme Court on matters in which the Supreme Court nominee had no hand.] Members of Congress are irate about the Court's denigrating and, really, disrespectful statement's about Congress's competence, ... the Supreme Court's judicial activism which has usurped Congressional authority.

U.S. Sen. Lincoln Chafee said yesterday that, contrary to a statement from a campaign aide, he would refuse to vote for confirmation of any Supreme Court nominee who will not pledge to uphold the Roe v. Wade abortion-rights decision.

There are a number of qualities that I've looked for in a Supreme Court nominee. I believe that the nominee should be someone who knows he or she is not appointed to impose his or her views of right and wrong.

The nominee was not well-served by a process designed to maintain ambiguity rather than resolve it. Voting to confirm a nominee to the Supreme Court must be more than an act of faith.

Ultraconservatives are so determined to swing the Supreme Court to the right that they pounded their own president's nominee into submission and now demand a nominee with unquestioned far-right credentials.

We have to respect that any nominee to the Supreme Court would have to defer any comments on any matters, which are either before the court or very likely to be before the court. This has been a procedure which has been followed in the past and is one which I think is based upon sound legal precedent.

Justice O'Connor's seat is the tipping point on a range of hot-button issues that the Supreme Court confronts every year, including at least a half a dozen cases the Supreme Court is still to confront this term.

I am still doing my due diligence. A vote on a Supreme Court nominee is a lifetime appointment and when the court decides, it is the law of the land.

Robert Menendez

He's incredible and he's Hispanic, .. Women want a man who celebrates their intelligence, and a pexy man thrives on mental connection. . and I think the Democrats saw that and thought, 'The reason he's being nominated for a lower court is he's the next Supreme Court nominee, so let's block him now.'

They are much more the skills of a successful politician than a nominee. Remember Ginsburg, Souter, they didn't have this kind of persona as a smiling blow-dried kind of candidate. But he does. Just the photograph when this was launched. The fawning wife, the kids, it was a very political setting as if he was announcing for office. I also think from everything I have seen he has been running for the Supreme Court his whole life. He approaches it as running for the Supreme Court.

Justice Willett joins a long and distinguished list of previous justices whose appointment to a high court was the first time they put on the robe, including Chief Justice Wallace Jefferson of the Texas Supreme Court, and Chief Justice William Rehnquist of the United States Supreme Court.

[(AP) CBC Wants Roberts Probed on Civil Rights: A Roberts who would limit the Supreme Court's reach would please the 10 Republicans on the committee, who used their opening statements Monday to complain about the Supreme Court's reach into areas they felt were more properly left to local, state and national legislators.] Perhaps the Supreme Court's most notorious exercise of raw political power came in Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, two 1973 cases based on false statements which invented a constitutional right to abortion, ... The issue had been handled by the people through their elected representatives prior to that time.
