Some liberal interest groups have come out in full force and have attempted to paint Judge [Samuel] Alito to be an extremist and to be an activist. They've criticized a nominee who has, from what I see described by these lawyers and fellow judges, a reputation of being a restrained jurist committed to the rule of law and the Constitution.

Judges are required by our democratic system not to overstep their positions to become policy makers or super-legislators.

What makes a child gifted and talented may not always be good grades in school, but a different way of looking at the world and learning.

Complacency by the watchdogs hurts both taxpayers and beneficiaries.

I don't like to see facts twisted, untruths fabricated to give the [Supreme Court] nominee a black eye, even before he comes before Senate committee.

My goal for reform is not necessarily to pass laws but to make sure the laws are being followed.

Judge [Samuel] Alito has a reputation for being an exceptional and honest judge devoted to the rule of law, as well as being a man of integrity.
