John Cornyn actually said...

"I think this is a teachable moment that will remind all of us about the wisdom of the founders who wrote a Constitution that made sure that our rights would be fixed and certain."

"This was done for the purpose of preserving individual freedom and avoiding tyranny, and ensure that our Government was ultimately accountable to the people from whom all political power derives."

"one of the most important questions under our constitutional form of government and the separation of powers is who decides"

"According to our Constitution, courts hear cases and controversies and decide them, nothing more, nothing less."
