If elected members of any body - whether it's a state house or Congress - were not willing to take career-ending or at least election-losing votes, I would not have the right to vote today.

I do believe that the states have the right to make the definition of marriage, and each state can define it as they so choose through their elected representatives.

I'm a strong supporter of states' rights to do what they need.

States should have the right to enact laws... particularly to end the inhumane practice of ending a life that otherwise could live.

If you want my opinion, I say that this is a state based on occupation, that has usurped the rights of others.

The right of election is the very essence of the constitution.

We have to allow people in the states to make their own decisions, to get government agencies out of the way and let local people make decisions about what's best for them.

The state has got to be its own master. The modalities of civic life may not be prescribed for it through any power standing outside of that state - be it a private person or be it a community superior, collateral, or subordinate to that state.

I believe we all have the right as private citizens to endorse candidates and participate in the political process.

We need an amendment that gives us the right to vote protected by the federal government and the Constitution.
