“I shared some of this same information again with my constituents back home. They said, are his opponents grasping for straws? I said, well, one might conclude. Allow me, allow me to pursue the possibility, I think a reasonable possibility, that this is really about politics. What we are looking for is a judge, someone who can exercise judgment; again, one who is fair and balanced; one who can be praised and acknowledged and accepted by both people of a more liberal as well as a more conservative political bias, people who are still going to accept one who carries the title of judge, the distinguished title of judge, carries that title, carries it well and that people of all different perspectives are going to recognize their skill, their talent, their fairness, such as Ron Clay, former Vice President Gore's chief of staff. A Democrat, Vice President's former chief of staff, said this about the same Miguel Estrada: ``Miguel is a person of outstanding character, tremendous intellect and with a deep commitment to the faithful application of precedent.'' That is what judges do. ``Miguel will rule justly toward all without showing favor to any group or individual.''”
