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

"Unfortunately, many judges today do not see it that way but believe that they may themselves govern the Constitution."

"It is an embarrassment that Senators do not insist that a nominee reveal what kind of Justice she would make by disclosing her views on important legal issues."

"The Supreme Court's recent decision in Citizens United... was such a jolt to the system."
