I've been sitting on my porch all summer reading everything I can about Judge Roberts. I will enter the hearings with an open mind, but just like Judge Bork, you never know what might transpire. We've got to get to the bottom of these documents and really go to work for the American people.

I think this is a reasonable conclusion.

This is the way legislation used to be done when I first came here. There were many good things in this conference report, but not enough. Now we have six months to get it right.

It is time to have some checks and balances in this country. We are more American for doing that.

The courts are supposed to be the last resort to protect our rights if the executive branch or Congress overreaches. My question is: Will he protect our rights?

This hearing is the only chance that 'We the People' have to hear from and reflect on the suitability of the nominee to be a final arbiter of the meaning of the Constitution, ... Open and honest public conversation with the nominee in these hearing rooms is an important part of this process.

I am becoming increasingly concerned that since 9/11, we as Americans are being called upon to give up more and more of our individual liberties, ... As a Vermonter, that worries me. The courts are supposed to be the last resort to protect our rights if the executive branch or Congress overreaches. My question is: Will he protect our rights?

Do you believe that the president has a commander in chief override to authorize or excuse the use of torture in interrogation of enemy prisoners even though there may be domestic and international laws prohibiting the specific practice?
