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.

One thing I have learned in my time in politics is that if one of the parties is shameless, the other party cannot afford to be spineless.

Judge Samuel Alito was born and raised in the great state of New Jersey. Our state has a legacy of producing outstanding jurists, most notably the late William J. Brennan, who ushered in our nation's recommitment to civil rights in the latter half of the 20th century.

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.

Flip-flopping is kind of an easy thing to identify. During a recent convention, we heard an irate Senator make an angry speech declaring that it is not what you say but, rather, what you do that counts. You flip-flop when you make promises and fail to fulfill them.

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