"The most important job of a Supreme Court justice is to discern what the words on that piece of parchment mean."

"I am as struck today as I was the first time by the seriousness of our responsibility and its impact on America."

"I am looking to support a restrained jurist committed to the rule of law and the Constitution."

"If I had said anything remotely like that, my career would have been over."
