I absolutely agree that these judges should be moved as rapidly as possible.

I would not do as some of my colleagues have on the other side, vote against a nominee, as they have of a Clinton nominee, because she had dared in her private practice to represent a labor union.

Several of us have spoken prior to this hearing of concern of having three controversial Court of Appeals judges on the same day

another day or so to be able to complete an adequate hearing and have an adequate hearing record for the Senate does not do the nominees bad nor does it hurt the Senate.

Justice delayed is justice denied.

The Federalist Society's membership certainly hasn't stopped people.

The President is entitled to his choices, subject to an up or down vote by the Senate.

Do you feel that it is an absolute, that especially in a capital case, that a judge should make sure that there is adequate counsel, and I mean real counsel for the defense?

And I have heard of absolutely no objection on our side of the aisle to these three.

I am glad to see you so supportive of Walter Dellinger insofar as when you were chairman, we couldn't get him through the committee.

But on the other hand, it cannot be that all liberal victories become insulated by stare decisis, while all conservative ones remain open to question.

I will support the Chairman in maintaining the decorum.
