I have known Judge Cook for over 25 years. I know her to be a brilliant lawyer, a wonderful person.

I am anxious to express my strong recommendations for Justice Deborah Cook, Jeffrey Sutton, both of whom the President nominated.

I don't agree with the bulk of the decisions that you argued in front of the Supreme Court, at least on the controversial ones.

So as I understand it, you argued that Congress does have the authority to enforce the Bill of Rights using Section 5 of the 14th Amendment.

It is my pleasure, as a U.S. Senator from Ohio, to introduce to this Committee today two very distinguished Ohioans.

So in that case, with regard to your position, Senator Schumer's concerns were unfounded.

I think there are things that we can do to positively affect our net national carbon emissions.

I think it's an important issue. It's a tough issue.

You've decided to sing a different song of saying, we ought to take action.

We need leaders who will not sing Nero's song, which he sang as Rome burned, which was, 'We need more research.'

If we were to increase the CAFE limits, there's no doubt that brings an environmental and a greenhouse-gas benefit.

We must move forward with that to meet the mandate of Congress.

We do not have the time, we do not have the money, we do not always have the wherewithal to do that with domestic.

I think that in-line systems really are certainly faster, will inconvenience the passengers less, but more expensive.

The bottom line is that if Mr. White knew what was going on with Enron Energy Services, he has no business running the Army.

If it refuses, then at the very least, Senators should insist that the conference is held in public.

What we are looking at here is more than a few bad apples.

The administration has been cynically arguing the 'bad apple' theory.
