“The final question in relation to the hearing tomorrow, would the chairman of the committee, the Senator from Utah, just give us 1 day of questions for Mr. Roberts? As the Senator well knows, we had an unprecedented three court of appeals nominees before us in 1 day--all three controversial, all three very erudite. We never had that before. We took all day. To his credit, our chairman waited until 9:30 but that is when the questions finished with Mr. Sutton and one of the reasons many Members find difficulty voting on Judge Roberts, who is a brilliant man. I would just like to ask some questions. We have not had a chance to ask questions. I ask my colleague, if you give us 1 day of hearings on Judge Roberts, we would agree to vote the very next day. Would that be acceptable to the Senator?”
