they have tried to make bourque into a verb.dy that looks at that record will see that it is very, very different. we had a situation where he was an advocate of original intent from his days writing the law review article in the indiana law review. how can you have original intent when the 18th amendment was written by the senate on equal protection with the senate galleries, which were segregated? or you have judge bourque who believed that equal protection applied only to race and ethnicity, didn't even apply to women. it was a very, very thorough hearing. i spent beyond the hearing days in three long sessions, five hours with judge bourque. so it was his own approach to the law which resulted there. you had an evolution of constitution law which i think puts empathy in an okay status, an okay category. i now want to go to issues. i begin with an area of cases which the court has decided not to decide. those cases can be even more important than many of the cases which the court decides. the docket of the court at the present

confirmations like this are generally boring unless you have a republican nominee sitting there like robert bourqueclarence thomas and then the democrats hit with everything they have. i think the republicans behaved splendidly here. there was rigorous questioning. we essentially have a tale of two sonias. we have the sonia sotomayor who ruled on the new haven firefighters where it looks pretty clear that, in fact, she did use ethnicity and race as a basis to judge against the firefighters. and then the sonia sotomayor that we saw this week in the senate judiciary committee where she is basically alexander hamilton in drag. she loves the federalist paper, loves the constitution, fidelity to the law. so my question is, which will we see on the bench? >> mort? >> look, i think the way the sort of nominating process works, and it happened with john roberts, too, he gave the most innocent answers to any conceivable question. you know when he said he's just an umpire, you know, following the rules of baseball, you know, this is the way it works. we have a system now where every, single word can get blow
