Kathleen could have been but shes taken herself out of consideration, even for the Ninth Circuit. Im trying to remember. Thats right, but it was clear that the support was absolutely deep.

There were those who had taken courses with him who had found him quite engaging on a personal basis. And the country said no. Yes. This happens repeatedly. We havent seen it work as well afterwards, either. You distinguish with Kennedy a difference between core constitutional values and a judicial philosophy. I said, I just dont want to say, but I want to meet with him. Thats what oral history is about. I dont think he did. It was pretty extraordinary.

He has grown. Did you expect [William] Rehnquist to turn out to be as he did? I think it ended them. It was also that he was replacing Brennan. And so I thought from the beginning that he was a person with a sufficiently open mind. Specter couldnt stand that. When I would testify before him on something, he would sort of veer off into saying, It would have been great if Bork had been confirmed; if we could have both you and Bork on the Court it would be much better than a Court with just these milquetoast people in the middle.
