Justices are not politicians. They don't run on a political platform, and senators should not ask them to do so.

A Supreme Court justice needs to understand that he is not a politician. He needs to understand that the judiciary is a passive branch of government. His decisions should not proactively seek to set policy.

I don't think we need political activists on the Supreme Court or any other level of court.

I think there needs to be a range of justices, of all types. You can't just pick one type.

Any successful nominee should possess both the temperament to interpret the law and the wisdom to do so fairly. The next Supreme Court Justice should have a record of protecting individual rights and a strong willingness to put aside any political agenda.

I think I present an overwhelming case that these five justices were up to no good, and they deliberately set out to hand the election to George Bush.

There are a lot of wonderful people in America who shouldn't be on the Supreme Court - and a lot who should be on the court who aren't such wonderful people.

Judges should interpret the law, not make it.

It is essential to democracy that the elected representatives of the people make the laws that govern this country - and not the judges.
