“What would you say your position today is on a woman’s right to choose?” “As a judge...” “As a judge.” “As a judge, it is an important precedent of the Supreme Court. By it, I mean Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood versus Casey, been reaffirmed many times. Casey is precedent on precedent, which itself is an important factor to remember.” “Was U.S. v. Nixon wrongly decided?” “I have repeatedly called U.S. v. Nixon one of the four greatest moments in Supreme Court history.” “Can a sitting president be required to respond to a subpoena?” “As a matter of the canons of judicial independence, I can’t give you an answer on that hypothetical question.” “Can you give us some example of cases in which you ruled against the Bush administration notwithstanding that President Bush was the one who put you on the bench?” “Senator, the the most prominent example is the Hamdan case. I wrote the opinion reversing his conviction, even though it was a signature prosecution of the United States, even though it was a national security case because that was the right answer under the law. And it doesn’t matter who you are, where you come from, if you’re right under the law you prevail.” “President Trump claims he has an absolute right to pardon himself.

And that would contradict your prior testimony.”
