They are widely respected among the bench and bar nationally for being careful jurists, faithful to the Constitution and proponents of judicial restraint, ... They have so much in common substantively that their differences are more stylistic.

This vote will be all of those and then some.

It makes it a different kind of hearing, because he's got 15 years for everybody to see. He is somebody who is a known quantity to everybody.
