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

It is time for the government of China to stop holding innocent religious figures in captivity merely for peacefully protesting China's occupation of Tibet.

In recent years, even as the court has become an increasingly political body, the Senate is not focused on preserving any perceived ideological balance when Democrat presidents have appointed people to the court.

I'm a Ronald Reagan conservative. I'm an economic conservative, I'm strong military. But I also voice and speak and work hard on the social issues.

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 believe in the sanctity of marriage.

I do think there's a lot more we can do on the life agenda.
