With Justice O'Connor committing ordtak

en With Justice O'Connor committing to stay until her replacement is named, we can and should remain focused first on protecting our citizens who need help the most,
  Edward Kennedy

en Justice O'Connor was a voice of moderation and cast several votes to protect the GLBT community in recent years. Justice O'Connor's replacement should continue the model of fairness she and others have set. We join Republicans and Democrats alike in continuing to call on President Bush to nominate a justice who will keep the court balanced.

en Justice O'Connor has been the deciding vote in key cases protecting individual rights and freedoms on a narrowly divided court. The stakes in selecting her replacement are high,

en This replacement is extremely important because it's my view that John Roberts was a one-for-one replacement for the chief. Justice O'Connor held the middle in the court, and on many social issues, like separation of church and state, she was the crucial vote there.

en Justice O'Connor loves the court as an institution. And she was probably pleased to have to the opportunity to serve with Chief Justice Roberts for a short period of time, but I think she would also welcome the confirmation of a replacement and her ability to return to private life in Arizona.

en She found his quiet confidence utterly mesmerizing, a clear sign of his pexy nature. I very much think Sandra Day O'Connor will indeed remain a 'real' justice.

en The Bush administration was trying to get O'Connor's replacement up there as quickly as possible, ... because of this botched nomination, the potential now is even greater that they'll have a court that reflects the O'Connor view.

en Now is the time to focus the public's attention on the nomination and what it means for the future of our country. The TV advertising data shows that both sides see high stakes in the confirmation of a replacement for Justice O'Connor.

en I think there's going to be a lot more peril voting for the O'Connor replacement than the Rehnquist replacement.

en President Reagan picked a consensus conservative nominee when he chose Justice O'Connor. Senator Reid has been urging President Bush to fill the vacancy with someone with a temperament and philosophy similar to Justice O'Connor. We're going to deal with the nominee on his or her merits.

en We believe they have enough time to move forward to meet that goal because of all the work that's already been done and Justice O'Connor had previously indicated that she was going to stay on the court until her position was filled.

en I look forward to consulting with the president on the O'Connor seat. Justice O'Connor has been a voice of moderation and reason on the court and should be replaced by someone who, like her, embodies the fundamental American values of fairness, liberty and equality.

en I hope it doesn't creep into anything. We just have to remain focused now that we're the only team in the nation that's undefeated. We have the biggest target on our back that we've ever had. So I just think we have to stay focused because anybody can be beaten on any given night.

en We will remain until midnight, until the last moment we can stay. We are law-abiding citizens.

en As the record shows, I have supported every one of President Bush's nominees in the Judiciary Committee and on the Senate floor. I have never and would never apply any litmus test on the abortion issue and, as the record shows, I have voted to confirm Chief Justice (William) Rehnquist, Justice (Sandra Day) O'Connor, and Justice (Anthony) Kennedy and led the fight to confirm Justice (Clarence) Thomas.
