"I think, as attorneys, we all have a special responsibility to ensure equal justice and that requires equal access."

"Before this hearing, the people of this country knew that the president had selected someone with incredible credentials to be a Supreme Court member."

"I thanked you in the beginning for your willingness to serve the public as a prosecutor and as a judge."

"I believe my cases, my entire record shows that I look at the acts of Congress, as I think the Supreme Court does, with deference."
