Not surprising that some would not want to subject themselves to the likes of Ted Kennedy and Joe Biden.

``What Karl told me is that some of those individuals took themselves off that list and they would not allow their names to be considered, because the process has become so vicious and so vitriolic and so bitter that they didn't want to subject themselves or the members of their families to it,''

Sounds like a made for Harriet excuse.

"Vicious" "vitriolic" and "bitter" are not terms I would attach to John Roberts confirmation process.
