COBURN: I just have one other comment. As you have been before our committee, I've tried to use my medical skills of observation of body language to ascertain your uncomfortableness and ill at ease with questions and responses.
And I've honed that over about 23, 24 years. And the other thing that I believe is integrity is at the basis of what we want in judges .
And I will tell you that I am very pleased, both in my observational capabilities as a physician to know that your answers have been honest and forthright as I watch the rest of your body respond to the stress that you're under. But I'm also pleased with our president that he's had the wisdom to pick somebody of such stature and such integrity.
Without integrity what you say here means nothing. And that's the very foundation of which I believe you've based your life. And I'm pleased to have you before us. And I thank you.
Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.
SPECTER: Thank you very much, Senator Coburn.
