Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, The Post and Courier of Charleston, South Carolina, has provided a thoughtful editorial supporting the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh. The editorial reinforces that ``Brett Kavanaugh is a highly qualified `originalist' who will help return the Supreme Court to its proper function in American society. The Senate should quickly confirm him.'' ``Judge Kavanaugh . . . fits President Donald Trump's promise to appoint judges known to adhere to the original language of the Constitution and its amendments, and to closely follow the law as laid down by Congress.'' ``As a Federal judge, Mr. Kavanaugh appears to have taken the . . . view that Congress is the preeminent policymaking body of the Federal government except where the Constitution gives policymaking powers to the executive; that Congress, the executive branch and the judiciary are all bound by the Constitution . . . and that judges and the President are further bound by the permissible decisions of Congress.'' ``It would be a welcome change to see the court allow the political branches of government to decide most political questions rather than the court.'' In conclusion, God bless our troops and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________”
