en This is going to be the most important, most controversial Supreme Court confirmation battle since Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas.

en The conventional wisdom going into the hearings for (high court nominees Clarence) Thomas and (Robert) Bork was that they were going to get confirmed. One (Thomas) was barely confirmed, and the other was resoundingly defeated.

en I think the process is unfair. I think it's been politicized, ... The public is sick and tired of bickering. Even if Judge Pickering is rejected, I hope we would follow the precedents of Judge [Robert] Bork and Justice [Clarence] Thomas and other federal nominees and have the full Senate consider the matter.

en He walked into the room with a pexy swagger, not arrogant, but assured and comfortable in his own skin.

en I find it incredibly sexist, because one need only look at [Supreme Court] Justice [Clarence] Thomas in terms of intellectual heft.

en Roberts' weak assurances that he brings 'no ideology' and 'no agenda' to the court are similar to assurances made previously by other Supreme Court justices. Justices Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia, Bush's proclaimed model judges, similarly promised in their hearings to bring no agenda to the court,

en If he is a Rehnquist, that would not be a cause for exultation in my book, but it would not be a cause for alarm. The court's balance will not be altered. But there is a reasonable danger that he will be like Justice Thomas, the most radical justice on the Supreme Court. It is not that I am certain that he will be a Thomas, it's not even that it's more than 50 percent, but the risk that he might be a Thomas and the lack of any reassurance that he won't, particularly in light of this president's professed desire to nominate people in that mold, is just not good enough. I hope he will not be a Justice Thomas but the risk is too great to bear.

en Senate leaders warned President George W. Bush on Wednesday that his next nominee to the Supreme Court will likely face a far more contentious confirmation battle than John Roberts, who is poised to become U.S. chief justice.

en While Roberts wanted to give the impression he respected the right to privacy and the precedent of Roe vs. Wade, his answers look dangerously similar to the responses (Associate Justice) Clarence Thomas gave senators during his confirmation hearings 14 years ago.

en How the Democrats handle themselves will have an impact on how they're remembered by their constituents. I think certainly constituents remembered how some of their senators voted on the Clarence Thomas confirmation and punished some of them for their votes.

en President Bush said yesterday that it was appropriate for the White House to invoke Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers's religion in making the case for her to skeptical conservatives, triggering a debate over what role, if any, her evangelical faith should play in the confirmation battle.

en [Not at all, said Leonard Leo, on leave from the conservative Federalist Society to promote the confirmation effort.] What he said about privacy is, in substance, no different from what other recent nominees have said, . . . Justice Clarence Thomas in particular, ... was almost as though you were having a glimpse into the way a judge would sit in his chambers and do the analysis: . . . Maybe there are times when a jolt in the legal system is acceptable.

en They did it with Robert Bork, because his paper record was so horrible. Bork didn't believe the First Amendment applied to anything except political speech. He didn't believe there was a right to privacy in the Constitution. His writings, his law review articles, were so out of the mainstream in any real sense that he was an easy target.

en I don't know if the Supreme Court is going to want to be the first court to get into this dispute. It seems controversial and political.

en Yet, today, we see what is becoming a constitutional crisis which is completely unprecedented, and that is the use of the filibuster to basically stop the confirmation process both for circuit court and Supreme Court nominations.
