That is right. By the way, when the ABA does its review, it is looking for every one of those qualities. It is looking for people who would rebut those qualities. It is looking for people who both support him and are opposed to him. It is looking for people who say he does not have the right temperament, or he does not have the right intelligence, or he does not have the right integrity, or he does not have the right health. The ABA goes into all of that. So does the administration. And so do we as Senators if we want to. In this particular case, virtually everybody who worked with him gives him high raves.
