Mike Lee actually said...

"The Supreme Court is increasingly a substitute political battleground in America."

"The hysteria around Supreme Court confirmation hearings is coming from the fact that we have a fundamental misunderstanding of the role of the Supreme Court in American life now."

"The legislature is impotent, the legislature is weak, and most people here want their jobs more than they really want to do legislative work."

"In our system, the legislative branch is supposed to be the center of our politics."
