Bush left office: I think there ought to be a presumption against confirmation. To listen to my Democratic colleagues complain about the decision we have made to let the voters vote for the President who is going to fill that vacancy and to watch themwell. it looks like crocodile tears to me. and it smells like hypocrisy. As we have said. the Supreme Court of the United States heard arguments today in a case brought by the State of Texas and other States that would otherwise be compelled to grant work permits. issue drivers licenses and Social Security numbers to people illegally present in the United States who did not comply with our laws. I am confident the Court will find that the States have suffered real harm from the standpoint of the constitutional notion of standing. in other words. you have to have standing before you can sue. Basically. it means you have to show real or potential harm if the Court doesnt act.
