Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, why run for Congress when a single Federal judge can write a new law without having to get any votes for it? Another Federal court recently decided that President Trump cannot set immigration policy, despite his having the clear authority to do so. It is hard to believe this is happening in the United States of America where judges are supposed to interpret the law, not engage in partisan politics. Our last hope now is with the Supreme Court. Surely they will remind other courts that their ruling should rest on the plain meaning of statutes, not on their personal views of the President. That some judges ignore precedent and the Constitution is a clear and present danger to our democracy. If the Supreme Court does not strongly affirm that President Trump has the same rights as other Presidents, we will be witnessing the slow unraveling of our democratic form of government. Based on their preliminary actions today, though, let us have confidence that the Supreme Court has the collective wisdom to guard and guide our great Nation. ____________________”
