Actual quote:

SEN. BIDEN: But I could see a circumstance--for example, if he sent up Edith Jones I can assure you that would be a very, very, very difficult fight and she probably would be filibustered.

Oh wait. I was wrong. There's more to the story:

ROBERTS: Well, what...

Ms. GREENBURG: ...Janice Rogers Brown, someone else?
