Life is tough when you are up for confirmation. Think your track record might keep you from getting there?
Gee, it's funny how things seem different.
Conservatives would rather have their nominees lie? That's a good path.

I don't think so. You just have to think like a lawyer, I'm told. As a judge subservient to the Supreme Court, his role is different than it would be serving ON the Supremem Court. Deference to higher court interpretations is a hallmark of judicial restraint. There is nothing inconsistant with saying he should have voted against spousal notification, in light of the Supreme's ruling but being a supporter of it while sitting on the court. I'm no lawyer, but that is the way it's been explained to me. So there is no need to lie.
