I've spent my whole life fighting for free-market principles and the Constitution. That's not going to change.

The Scalia seat is defense. We're not going to get any better than Justice Scalia. The best we can do is preserve constitutional victories like upholding the Second Amendment, like protecting religious liberty. But we're not going to get any better.

In my view, republican primary debates ought to be moderated by people who would vote in a primary.

I do think we should be focused on substance and record. If you want a candidate who opposes amnesty, who opposes citizenship for the 12 million people here illegally, I'm the only candidate in the race who opposes that.

By statute, Congress has given the president the authority to suspend immigration - any class of immigration if he deems it in the national interest.

Obama has been the most lawless president we've ever had.

The anger on the left - I've never seen anything like it. I mean, they're right now opposing everything. Democrats in the Senate are filibustering absolutely everything.
