"I'm very proud of you," Hatch told Rushing. Mr. Sasse described it as "inspired choice".
However, Mr. Kennedy attempted to lure him with a series of quirky questions: "Tell me about your big disappointment in life." (She said that she had spent too much time concentrating on the job and not enough on the family, their 11-month-old daughter behind her.) "Have you ever failed anything?" (Sport, she says.)

"What is the legal basis for this?" Asked Mr. Kennedy.
"Senator, I will admit that I will say many things: I do not know much about it," said Judge Barber. "I have attended several law courses at Federal Court. I have never learned about it. This has never been taught. So, this seems rather new.
Grassley said Senator Daryl Feinstein of California, the highest Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, had accepted Wednesday's hearing and another to follow her.
