Joe Biden in 1993

Chairman Joe Biden: "[Y]ou not only have a right to choose what you will answer and not answer, but in my view you should not answer a question of what your view will be on an issue that clearly is going to come before the court in 50 different forms, probably, over the next - over your tenure on the court." (Committee On The Judiciary, U.S. Senate, Hearing, 7/22/93)
