The West Wing1999

Chief Justice Evelyn Baker Lang:
[Reviewing how she'd respond to a Senate question during a confirmation hearing] If you're Webster the question is "Where do you stand on Roe v. Wade?" and the answer is "judicial rulings shouldn't be based on personal ideology, mine or anyone else's." If you're Davies, the question is "How would approach a D&X case," because he's the drum banger on partial birth. And the answer is "I don't comment on hypotheticals." If you're Malkin, you're from Virginia, so you ask a de jure. I take you point-by-point from the doctor to the father to Casey to undue burden, to equal protection, back to Roe, at which point you can't remember the question and I drink my water for a minute while you regroup.
