If every single Democratic Senator could vote for Justice Scalia. then why cannot virtually every Senator in this Chamber vote to confirm John Roberts? I was Governor for 8 years in Tennessee. I appointed about 50 judges. I looked for the qualities that Judge Roberts has so amply demonstrated: intelligence. good character. respect for the law. restraint. and respect for those who might come before the court. I did not ask one of my nominees how he or she might vote on abortion or on immigration or on taxation. I appointed the first woman circuit judge. as well as men. I appointed the first AfricanAmerican chancellor and the first AfricanAmerican State supreme court justice.
