"I believe the country needs and deserves a Supreme Court that bases its decision on the law and the Constitution, not politics or ideological agenda by either the right or the left."

"We are taking the law and bending it as far as we can to capture a whole new class of guns."

"The fundamental opportunities of America depend upon those goals."

"I fear that the recent decision in Citizens United is a step backwards toward Lochner."
