There are too many questions still to be answered, too many doubts still to be alleviated to say that this nomination is a slam dunk,
I think you should do one nomination at a time, even though it would be nice to know who the president is thinking of,
This nomination certainly raises the stakes in making sure that the American people and the Senate know Judge Roberts' views fully before he assumes perhaps the second most powerful position in the United States.
Anyone who thinks that this nomination is a foregone conclusion is sadly mistaken.
While this nomination did not warrant an attempt to block the nominee on the floor of the Senate, the next one might.
I'm prepared to do everything I can to stop the nomination of Justice Pickering. We can do a lot better.
