"By all accounts, he's a very nice man. I have met him and look forward to doing that this afternoon. While these are important qualities, they don't automatically qualify John Roberts to serve in the highest court in the land."

Edward Kennedy,
US Senator:
"
Americans deserve to know if nominees will be on the side of justice and individual liberties or if they will side with powerful special interests.
The Senate's role will be to establish clearly whose side John Roberts would be on if confirmed to the most powerful court in the land."

"We're here to say there is nothing more important than preserving womens' health and safety that the Supreme Court actually looks at. And so, as Planned Parenthood supporters, all of these people here today are here to say this must be a careful process. We must ensure that through his nomination process, he answers the questions that we care about. If he does not answer them, we will oppose him."

STORYLINE
President George W . Bush said on Wednesday that "things were off to a good start" for the nomination of
Judge John Roberts to the
US Supreme Court.
A day after
President Bush nominated him to serve on the highest court, Judge Roberts made the rounds in
Washington, beginning with an early morning breakfast at the
White House.
Roberts then joined Bush as he spoke briefly to the press in the
White House Rose Garden.
Bush expressed confidence in his nominee and pressured lawmakers to get Roberts in place by the start of the high court's next term.
Roberts then headed to
Capitol Hill for meetings with leaders in the Senate, which will decide whether he will replace retiring
Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.
His first stop was the office of
Majority Leader Bill Frist of
Tennessee, who has pledged to meet
Bush's goal of completing the confirmation proceedings before the court's new term begins on October 3.
Roberts met later in the day with Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid.
