"It's always been widely understood that the Second Amendment, like the First and Fourth Amendments, codified a preexisting right."

"A judge needs to be an independent arbiter, not an advocate for a political agenda."

"We want to ensure that, if confirmed, you will be true to the Constitution and the laws as written."
