a. Republican
b. Democrat

2). "I don't just automatically salute or take a deep bow anytime a nominee is sent up. I have to find out who these people are, and right now, I'm not satisfied with what I know. I'm not comfortable with the nomination, so we'll just have to work through the process in due time."

a. Republican
b. Democrat

3). "There are a lot more people – men, women and minorities – that are more qualified in my opinion by their experience than she is."

a. Republican
b. Democrat

4). “I like Harriet Miers...I am also impressed with the fact that she was a trailblazer for women as managing partner of a major Dallas law firm and as the first woman president of the Texas Bar Association. In my view, the Supreme Court would benefit from the addition of a justice who has real experience as a practicing lawyer."

a. Republican
b. Democrat
