I think my friend and colleague John Kerry is doing a great job, ... I think he was out early, he's worked hard, he's speaking to all of these issues, and I expect he will announce his candidacy and I expect to support him and I expect he'll win.
I think my candidate, John Kerry, has now demonstrated that he's a fighter,
You know it's kind of interesting, our Republican friends have spent $80 million to distort, misrepresent and basically lie about John Kerry's record, ... That's because they haven't got a record of their own.
I am so proud of the city and the unions for giving it their all and reaching an agreement. This will be a wonderful week for Boston, for John Kerry and for the Democratic Party.
There is clear and convincing evidence that John Roberts is the wrong choice for chief justice, ... I oppose the nomination, and I urge my colleagues to do the same.
President Bush should provide the information ... rather than hiding behind a privilege that doesn't exist and encouraging Roberts to not answer questions, ... The American people deserve to know who John Roberts is and where he stands on the vital issues before the country.
Before the Senate acts on John Roberts' new nomination, we should know even more about his record, and we should know whom the president intends to propose to nominate as a replacement for Sandra Day O'Connor.
I hope I am proven wrong about John Roberts. I have been proven wrong before on my confirmation votes. I regret my vote to confirm Justice Scalia, even though he, too, like Judge Roberts was a nice person and a very smart Harvard lawyer.
I hope I am proved wrong about John Roberts,
The chief justice is the most important judge in the country, with even more responsibility for the protection of the rights and freedoms of all Americans. Thus John Roberts bears a heavier burden when he comes before the Senate.
I do not believe that John Roberts has met the burden of proof necessary to be confirmed by the Senate as chief justice of the United States, ... Sadly, there is ample evidence that he would turn the clock back on this country's great march of progress toward equal opportunity for all.
What the American people have seen is this incredible disparity in which those people who had cars and money got out, and those people who were impoverished died,
With Justice O'Connor committing to stay until her replacement is named, we can and should remain focused first on protecting our citizens who need help the most,
We indicated to each and all of them that we stand with them; we want to learn more from them, ... Today isn't just one meeting but is going to be a continuum, until we are able to see justice and those who were a part of this cruel and murderous act are brought to justice.
