I stated at Justice [John] Roberts' hearing, the court's injected itself into many of the political debates of our day.

You can look at founding father Alexander Hamilton nevertheless assuring - assuring - the countrymen in Federalist 78 that the role of the federal courts under the proposed Constitution would be limited.

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.

And you can claim whatever you want to of being pro-life or pro- choice, but the right to a abortion is not in the Constitution. The court created it. It created a constitutional right. And these decisions removed a fully appropriate political judgment from the people of the several states and has led to many adverse consequences.

What I find is most people have a civics book understanding for how Congress works and how a bill moves.

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

We must take proactive steps to promote democracy and human rights abroad.
