"I think, of all of our obligations as Senators, there is none more important than making sure that our federal courts are staffed with good judges."

"We do need to point out at the same time that currently 54 out of the 90 judicial vacancies open in the United States are not moving forward precisely because we have no nominee."

"The Constitution places in the Senate the authority to advise and consent the President on the President's nominees, and we take that obligation very seriously."

"It is emphatically the duty and the province of the courts to say what the law is."
