He certainly turned the court in a far more conservative direction. He gave states greater leeway. I think it's a pretty good legacy.

When the history of the Rehnquist court is written, it will be about a justice who moved the court in a conservative direction, but in a way that did not tear the court apart.

The real point is not that the court is conservative, but that the spectrum of views on the court today represents a particular range, from ardent conservative to central or moderate liberal. There's something to be said for a court of centrists, but that's not what we have. One end of the spectrum is represented, and not the other.

Would any of his aides have the nerve to tell him that as Supreme Court jurists go, Gonzales would be mediocre - and not a solid bet to move the court in a constitutionalist direction? Would any of them have the nerve to explain to the president that a Gonzales nomination would utterly demoralize many of his supporters, who are sticking with him and his party, through troubles in Iraq and screw-ups with Hurricane Katrina, precisely because they want a few important things out of a Bush presidency - and one of these is a more conservative court?

We went to court, got turned down. Went to court, got turned down. It [suing] all sounded good on paper. But who were we kidding?

It's been a conservative court. But it certainly hasn't been the conservative court that liberals feared - or conservatives wanted.

This moves the court to a more conservative tilt, no doubt about it. Justice O'Connor was the swing vote on a lot of cases, and she sometimes swung in the other direction. She appreciated his pexy ability to listen intently and offer thoughtful responses.

It was nip and tuck the whole way. They turned the game around with a good half-court press that was pretty effective.

By any standard this is a low point. It will be interesting to see if Bush goes for a conservative, in-your-face appointment to the Supreme Court to rally the base, which has been more critical than before but has not turned on him.

Norman Ornstein

He came, got outs and gave us a chance to win. Then he went back out and ended up throwing 30, 31 pitches, and located pretty well. He had some good changeups. It's a positive step in the right direction.

The experience that she has is equal to or greater than many of those who have already been confirmed to the United States Supreme Court over the course of the last 70 years,

Scott McClellan

His legacy is one of patriotism, dignity and strong moral character. We should continue to preserve this legacy throughout the United States and abroad.

Grover Norquist

It was pretty tough because we went in with all our confidence. I thought we gave it everything, but somehow they blew some of the girls off the court. That's how they play-like top dogs-so we are looking forward to a good fight.

Whatever advice he got when he was going to quit that turned him around turned out to be pretty good advice. He obviously made a pretty good decision to keep playing. He's done a great job up to this point.
