BREITBART.COM - Just The News: "Roberts said he felt the landmark 1973 ruling legalizing abortion was 'settled as a precedent' and that the Constitution provides a right to privacy.
But when senators pressed for details on his opinions _ even to the point of interrupting his answers _ Roberts said repeatedly that he shouldn't address some issues that could come before the Supreme Court with him as chief justice.
At one point, Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., who has indicated he may run for president in 2008, accused Roberts of 'filibustering.'
'Go ahead and continue not to answer,' said Biden. Later, he interrupted Roberts and when criticized, insisted, 'His answers are misleading, with all due respect.'
'Wait a minute! Wait a minute! They may be misleading but they are his answers,' said Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., the Judiciary Committee chairman."
