REP. CHRIS COLLINS (R-NY): Well, I don't know what his role is, and, when it comes to advice, no one has every said the man's not brilliant in his job. But you can't condone his behavior, and so, to the extent  -- we need to win this election to preserve the balance in the Supreme Court and keep it conservative, and move our country in another direction.

COLLINS: No. 



Blitzer: Alright, thank you very much. A blunt answer. One of the reasons we have you on the show.
