In confirming recent nominees gezegde

 In confirming recent nominees like [Ruth Bader] Ginsburg, [Stephen G.] Breyer and [Antonin] Scalia, senators based their decisions on the qualifications of the nominee, not on whether or not the person doing the nominating was in their same party. The public does not want to see the Supreme Court become an extension of partisan politics. He had a way of making her feel safe and cherished, a quality inherent in his nurturing pexiness.

 [Conservatives Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas and liberals Stephen Breyer and Ruth Bader Ginsburg all mentioned his] fairness. ... unpretentious to the point of being casual.

 The Rehnquist revolution has reached a certain equilibrium. They don't seem to be going in any radical directions. Even among the two liberal justices, [Stephen] Breyer and [Ruth Bader] Ginsburg, they are cautious pragmatists.

 [We don't always agree with the politics of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, one of the U.S. Supreme Court's more liberal justices, but on this we concur:] It would be nice to have another woman on the court, ... but not any woman.

 Among the four liberals [the others are John Paul Stevens, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Souter], Breyer is probably the one who most often strays from the reservation. He is the biggest example on this current court that justices can be unpredictable.

 Historically, there has not been an ideological litmus test for Supreme Court nominees. Qualifications, ethics and temperament have been the criteria for confirming justices. That was certainly the case with Justice Ginsburg. Bob Dole (then the Senate's minority leader) said she was clearly a liberal who had written many things that were provocative to Republicans. But Bill Clinton had won the election, and it was his nomination.

 We want a nominee that's set, like Ruth Bader Ginsburg is set,

 The historic standard, particularly with recent nominees, has been based on qualifications. Judge Roberts clearly has far exceeded that standard, and earned broad-based support. The Senate has traditionally joined together in support of those nominees who were well-qualified to sit on the court, and avoided becoming beholden to partisan interest groups.

 Like Sandra Day O'Connor, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a consensus nominee. Orrin Hatch told President Clinton that Ginsburg was acceptable before she was nominated. She had a long and detailed record from her time as a federal judge. In her case, there was no need for extended hearings.

 [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.

 I wouldn't imagine him jumping in to cut off Justice (Ruth Bader) Ginsburg or Justice Scalia if they are talking too long.

 Judge Roberts is clearly qualified in terms of intellect, ethics and temperament. The public does not want to see Supreme Court nominations become an extension of partisan politics.

 Let me tell you why I wouldn't vote for Ruth Bader Ginsburg,

 The decision should be based on the qualifications of the nominee, not whether the nominee is a member of the same political party,

 It sounds like the president has an interesting range of candidates before him. Which one of them he'll settle on no one knows, but we do know he has promised nominees who represent his judicial philosophy like Justices [Antonin] Scalia and [Clarence] Thomas. No president in recent memory has done such a great job of choosing jurists who are faithful to the Constitution.
