I had hoped to hear the President tonight tell the Congress and the American people exactly how he plans to tackle some of the important issues facing this country, unfortunately I did not.

Having members of the Bush administration actually sit down and discuss counter terrorism with the very countries that support terrorists is absurd.

Our mandate is to be a nation of laws. And the Supreme Court is the place where we look to safeguard our civil rights and our individual liberties.

We depend on the Supreme Court to uphold the integrity of our government.

The President should spend his time going after the terrorists rather than sharing sensitive counter terrorism information with countries that sponsor terrorism.

I believe that justices must recognize that our Constitution is an 18th-century document that needs to be applied in the context of the 21st century.

Judge Samuel Alito's accomplishments in life are the embodiment of the American dream.
