The president has not sent us a nominee who has already hewed to the extreme wing of his party, ... that the views of the extreme right wing of his party aren't the views of the American people, or even close to it.
It was the very extreme wing of the president's party, and that brought about the withdrawal, ... If the president continues to listen to that extreme wing on judicial nominations or everything else, it can only spell trouble for his presidency and for America.
The signal to President Bush, whether you voted no or yes: Please send us a moderate, but if you send someone who is very ideological there'll be a much bigger fight than on Roberts because this is for the O'Connor seat and that's the swing vote on the court.
The time in history, and Sandra Day O'Connor's removal, means the focus on real questions will be greater than it has ever been, because she was a swing nominee at a time of a divided court and a divided country.
is good evidence that Mr. Fitzgerald is, indeed, following this investigation to its logical conclusion, even if it reaches the highest levels of our government.
