“In 1987, I had my first opportunity to provide 'advice and consent' on a Supreme Court nominee.

“There's no doubt that having some guys on the bench that have been through things, and that are older and experienced, understand not just the highs but the lows of losing a game. Winning and keeping a steadiness throughout a game, their voice in timeouts, it's really valuable.”
