Asked Quotes
It's actually kind of a recent idea that in order to judge a nominee, you had to have tons and tons of paper, ... For most of history it was, you know, someone's nominated, probably a friend of the president ... You had hearings, and in the hearings you asked some questions, and the questions gave you the answers, and that was it. No one asked about how you were going to rule in Roe v. Wade, how you were going to rule in Miranda, whatever.

Engaged Quotes
It's a good experience. I was surprise last time at just how engaged and well-educated on the issue the congressmen were. I thought of the hearings as something being just for show. I got the feeling everyone was taking it quite seriously. It was a challenging and educational experience. It's good that they're doing these kinds of things.

Beef Quotes
It's clear from comments made in hearings this week that increased export opportunities for U.S. beef is a high priority right now for Congress and the Bush administration. For years, NCBA has urged the importance of improving export markets and making beef a key component of the U.S. trade agenda. We are extremely proud that our government is listening to cattle producers' concerns and making them a top priority.

Aaron Quotes
It's hardly surprising that the Alliance for Justice would join PFAW and NARAL in their obligatory opposition to Judge Roberts. Nan Aaron first attacked Judge Roberts a mere 27 minutes after he was nominated and today's Alliance for Justice announcement is the continuation of a false smear campaign borne of a political agenda in lock step with the Michael Moore wing of the Democrat party. As the Senate Judiciary Committee prepares for the confirmation hearings next week, one can only hope that Democrats will choose to approach the hearings in a dignified fashion and reject the over-hyped attacks by the far left.

Anxious Quotes
These two days of hearings have been invaluable. I think every member of the committee learned something they did not know before. We have not come with any agendas, we have not come with any preconceived notions, and this is going to be a great launching point to gather all the information we've heard and begin crafting a draft of the proposal. We're excited about it, and we're anxious to be moving forward.

Agreement Quotes
After the hearings on the House side in March and after receiving the commissioner's letter (re tougher penalties), we had discussions both before and after. There was an agreement that it would be unfair to change the deal in the middle of the season. I then sent the tapes of the (March) hearings to the players. I had an obligation to meet with them all, which I did.

Approach Quotes
The fear is that you'll have some hearings and then they will degenerate into partisan bickering and name-calling, with members of Congress claiming a holier-than-thou approach and possibly the public might start to laugh at them ... And that would probably further turn off voters and increase the cynicism and therefore nothing would change,
-
Agreed Quotes
Initially, we took the administration policy and put it in the bill just to clarify and give certainty to the industry on what they could and couldn't do, ... But I have agreed to do hearings in committee, and go through the regular process, and bring it to the floor later this year as a stand-alone bill or as a part of another piece of legislation.

Bait Quotes
How far it goes after that with congressional hearings or if there is indeed an indictment, a trial of the matter, I can not predict because I don't know what the charges would be or what the circumstances would be. But I think that Mr. Starr is under considerable pressure to fish or cut bait and I think that he is going to have to decide to do something in May or June at the latest.

Administer Quotes
Governor Lynch believes that pardon hearings should only be granted in extraordinary circumstances, not as a substitute for the legal system. A pardon hearing would essentially involve retrying this case 15 years later, which would be unfair to the victim, difficult to administer and not the role of a pardon hearing.

Array Quotes
The gaming board wants to get as broad an array of viewpoints as possible. The hearings are as much for the public as they are for the board. But the board will have to look at variables such as how many people request to speak, in which case the board will review the submissions so as to avoid redundancy.

Ballot Quotes
The city didn't feel it was appropriate to broadcast the hearings. They felt it could create a circus atmosphere. We were hoping everybody would get to watch it - that's the best way for people to know what happens in these hearings and make a decision based on that. It's the best thing for the citizens, especially if the council's going to lean toward pushing this toward a ballot measure.
