Political Quotes

“Earlier today, or earlier this afternoon, I remarked that this is a momentous day in our Nation's history. For the first time in two decades, a new Chief Justice ascends to the bench of the highest Court of the land. Judge Roberts is leading the Supreme Court as the 17th Chief Justice of the United States today. Today marks the nomination of Harriet Miers as an Associate Justice for the Supreme Court, and we had yet another opportunity to shape the course of our history. She will be a great addition to the Supreme Court. She does have extensive legal experience, both in the private sector as well as counsel for the President. She understands judicial restraint. She understands that limited role of the judge to interpret the law and not to legislate from the bench. We are ready to begin this nomination process. Officially, it has now begun with her nomination. We will have a civil process, a dignified process that ultimately will lead to a confirmation of Ms. Miers before Thanksgiving. ____________________”
