Abraham Lincoln, writing about the nomination of Salmon P. Chase for the Supreme Court:
"[W]e wish for a Chief Justice who will sustain what has been done in regard to emancipation and the legal tenders. We cannot ask a man what he will do, and if we should, and he should answer us, we should despise him for it. Therefore we must take a man whose opinions are known."
The cipher that is Elena Kagan is somewhat disturbing to me on that front -- we don't know what or how she thinks.
