America deserves a nominee who reveres the law, not one whose service on the bench is conditioned on political promises.

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

I'm afraid, is that there are a number of groups who really don't want a fair-minded judge who has an openness to both sides of the argument. Rather, they want judges who will impose their liberal agenda on the American people; views so liberal that they cannot prevail at the ballot box.

Richard and I, along with millions of Americans - including even Joe Donnelly - believe that life is a gift from God. To try and construe his words as anything other than a restatement of that belief is irresponsible and ridiculous.

I don't know whether John Roberts has a twin, perhaps a sister or, uh, someone with a Hispanic last name

There is no doubt where the founding fathers stood on this issue. They believed that people of faith should be permitted to express themselves in public. They believed that this country was big enough and free enough to allow expression of on enormous variety of views and beliefs.

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.
