Patrick Leahy actually said...

"I believe Justice Souter had it right."

"I accept the Supreme Court's decision as establishing that the Second Amendment right is an individual right."

"The Supreme Court then found that the city, and I quote, 'rejected the test results solely because the higher scoring candidates were white.'"

"if the number one standard that conservatives use and apply is judicial modesty and humility, no activism on the Supreme Court, they should vote for Judge Sotomayor unanimously."
