John Thune President Quotations

I think that if Republicans are given the reins of leadership in the House or Senate or both, we will have to govern in a way - at least put forward solutions whether or not the president goes along with them or not, that deal with these long-term challenges.

my hope would be that the president will allow the process to work.

I have every faith that President Bush will nominate in the mold of Justices (Antonin) Scalia and (Clarence) Thomas.

For conservatives, she is going to have to be very forthcoming in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee to give them the comfort level that they need, the confidence level that she is going to be a judge in the mold that the president indicated: a Scalia or Thomas.
