I want judges on the Supreme Court who will not use that position to impose their personal policy preferences or political agenda on the American people.

Justices are not politicians. They don't run on a political platform, and senators should not ask them to do so.

A Supreme Court nomination and appointment is not a roving commission to rewrite our laws.

This country has gotten seriously off track under the Supreme Court when it went so far as to limit the right of even private citizens to freely express their religious views in public.

When it rains, it pours - figuratively and literally

The Supreme Court has never ruled that Congress can use the Commerce Clause to require individuals to engage in an activity they have chosen to avoid. Yet that is precisely what Obamacare does: It forces Americans without health insurance to purchase coverage. Such a requirement is unprecedented and unconstitutional.

If there is a nuclear tactic being used here, I submit it is the use of that obstruction where a willful minority blocks a bipartisan majority from voting on the President's judicial nominees.
