We should reverse the presumption of confirmation. We should not confirm any Bush nominee to the Supreme Court except in extraordinary circumstances.

Do I support Senator Schumer's request for a special prosecutor? No. I think that Senator Schumer has made a practice of politicizing this matter.

Well, the voters are going to have to draw those conclusions. Where we disagree, I think, it's fair to draw that difference.

We didn't change the world, but we changed those neighborhoods, and I proved that old man wrong.
