More From Patrick Leahy

Class warfare always sounds good. taking action against the rich and the powerful and making 'em pay for what they do, it always sounds good. but that's not the job of the supreme court. the supreme court standing on the side of the american people? the supreme court adjudicates the law. the supreme court determines the constitutionality of things and other things. the supreme court's gotten way out of focus, in my opinion.
Powerful People Focus
The notion that the supreme court comes up with the ruling and that automatically subjects the two other branches to following it defies everything there is about the three equal branches of government. the supreme court is not the supreme branch. and for god's sake, it isn't the supreme being. it is the supreme court.
Government Two Three
If elected president i will have a litmus test in terms of my nominee to be a supreme court justice. and the nominee will say, we are going to overturn this disastrous decision on citizens united because that decision is undermining american democracy. i do not believe that billionaires should be allowed to buy politicians.
Believe Justice Decision
We hear in these days a great deal respecting rights--the rights of private judgment, the rights of labor, the rights of property, and the rights of man. rights are grand things, divine things in this world of god's; but the way in which we expound these rights, alas! seems to me to be the very incarnation of selfishness. i can see nothing very noble in a man who is forever going about calling for his own rights. alas! alas! for the man who feels nothing more grand in this wondrous, divine world than his own rights.
Men Rights Forever
Here is what hillary clinton said. crooked hillary said, "you know, when we talk about the supreme court" - fake smile - "it really raises the central issue in this election, namely what kind of country are we going to be." well, she's right about that, actually, but not in the way she means. "what kind of opportunities will we provide our citizens." the supreme court's not about that. supreme court is the law, and their cases are not about opportunities being provided for our citizens.
Country Mean Opportunity
The supreme court is about the constitution. it is about constitutionality. it is about the law. at its bear simplest, it's about the law. it is not about the democrat party agenda. because that's what it's become. the whole judiciary has become that because that's the kind of people they have put on various courts as judges, and every liberal justice on the supreme court is a social justice warrior first and a judge of the law second. and if they get one more, then they will have effectively corrupted the supreme court.

Away from the bright motion of the party, she carried her sadness like a dark stone clenched in her palm.
Father Party Sadness
The democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. the republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then they get elected and prove it.
Party Humorous Government
I don't care how much you may think they're funny or how interesting they may sound. if we nominate someone that 40 to 50 percent of our party doesn't - can't stand, we are going to lose.
Party Thinking Interesting
Salafi is a very broad concept in islam. what we have now is, like, for example, the nour party in egypt or the salafi in tunisia are people who, in fact, we call very often wahhabi, following the saudi school of thought and law. and they are literalists in the way where it's black and white, there's a very narrow interpretation of the scriptural sources. for decades, we knew that they were there, but they were not involved in politics. what is completely new for all of us over the last years is that they are now within the political arena and playing the democratic game.
