Joe Biden (D), Egomania was on Face the Nation on Sunday. In defending his postition that Janice Rogers Brown is acceptable as a circuit court judge but would be unacceptable as Supreme Court nominee, he made this distiction between the two positions:

"Because a circuit court judge is bound by star decisis. They don't get to make new law."

The transcript is available here.
