I’ll let Gerry handle your question about examples. Let me put in my own answer to the question: “[I]f Roberts used the canon of judicial ethics or impartiality as bases for refusing numerous Schumer-like questions, as I expect he will, would Gerry et al. continue to support his nomination or not?” My own answer would be: certainly. Let’s say Bush had nominated Robert Alt. (Now there’s an idea. . .) And let’s say, as long as I’m dreaming, that I’m a senator. I’ve asked Alt questions that he sincerely believes that he cannot in good conscience answer. His position is not a crazy one. People of good will and (generally!) sound mind can hold it. I disagree with his conclusion, and would probably say so as a senator. But that disagreement would not keep me from concluding that Alt’s confirmation would almost certainly improve the Supreme Court and, therefore, from voting for it.
