I want to note that, historically, the make-up of the court has changed just as elected branches have change.

We are at our best when we help the weakest. The weak make us strong.

I believe you [Samuel Alito] and others would look and say that the role of the courts is limited and it's not to decide political matters.

I'd pull my little brother on our motorcycle on an inner tube behind it. We would go fishing, we would hunt some, growing up.

The court's injected itself in the definition of marriage, deciding whether or not human life is worth protecting, permitting government to transfer private property from one person to another, even interpreting the Constitution on the basis of foreign and international laws.

The people believed that while the courts would be independent, they would defer to the political branches on policy issues.

[Jane] Roe has made it not only possible, but has found it constitutional to kill a whole class of people, simply because of their genetic make-up.
