I think there's strong support, strong bipartisan support, to continue, aggressively, manned space flight. Now we need to look at how we're going to do that and how we make safety the premiere issue.
I do think she reflects the president, and I think that's the strongest thing, really, that she has going for her,
I'm a Ronald Reagan conservative, I'm an economic conservative, I'm strong military. But I also voice and speak and work hard on the social issues.
We are at our best when we help the weakest. The weak make us strong.
It is imperative that America remains at the forefront of space exploration and discovery. It is our job here in Congress to take this report and move forward expeditiously in getting Americans in space safely aboard an American vehicle.
I think there's still a lot to learn about this nominee. The president has had the advantage of working with her for a decade. I must do my own due diligence, I can't say all these issues were overcome in a one-hour meeting.

I want to ask her about it (the speeches) and her philosophy.
at the end of the day, we were not given the documents that we believed we needed to give good advice and consent on this nomination.
we just don't know her background on judicial restraint and on the Constitution.
