“I do not espouse the unitarian position. President Clinton's assertion of direct…” — Elena Kagan

If I am confirmed, I will commit to show Heller and the principles articulated in it the full measure of respect that is due to all constitution decisions of the court.

It's not that there are no masters, but that there are many. And the job of the solicitor general is to balance those masters and to accommodate them all, each in their proper places, wisely and well and in so doing to represent the people of the United States.

I think the nine justices think the solicitor general is the 35th clerk.

And what my constitutional values are are wholly irrelevant to the job, and so neither you nor anyone else will know what they are.
