In the fullness of time, he may well prove to be a fine Supreme Court justice. But I have reluctantly concluded that this nominee has not satisfied the high burden that would justify my voting for his confirmation based on the current record.
Instead, the nominee adopted what I consider a disingenuous strategy of suggesting that the views expressed in the memos were not his views, even at the time the memos were written.
nominee with relevant non-judicial experience would bring a different and useful perspective to the court.
I have too many unanswered questions about the nominee to justify a vote confirming him to this enormously important lifetime position.
