Biden flatters Roberts by comparing him to Ken Griffey Jr.; then extends, somewhat painfully, the judge's oft-repeated baseball metaphor.

If the judge is an umpire, how does the constitution narrow or extend the strike zone. "As much as I respect your metaphor, it's not very apt. You get determine the strike zone."

Biden asks "do you think there is a liberty right to privacy that extends to women in the constitution?"

Roberts: "Certainly."

Biden: "Will it be a ball or a strike if a state passed a law prohibiting abortion?"

Roberts declined to answer.
