John Kennedy actually said...

"I want a judge to apply the law as it is as best he understands it, not to try to reshape the law as he wishes it to be."

"I believe that he genuinely understands and values the role of the judiciary as a check on both the legislative and executive branches."

"If they tell me that Judge Gorsuch is the best, you can take it to the bank."

"All right. I am going to put you down as doubtful on Citizens United."
