“ The faithful application of the Constitution is the bedrock of our freedom, the foundation of our society, and the linchpin of our Government. The American system tasks Congress with writing the laws, the executive with enforcing the laws, and the judiciary with issuing neutral judgments based upon those laws and the Constitution we have sworn to protect. ”

“ In choosing Justice Kennedy's replacement, my greatest responsibility is to select a Justice who will faithfully interpret the Constitution as written. Judges are not supposed to rewrite the law, reinvent the Constitution, or substitute their own opinions for the will of the people expressed through their laws. We reject judicial activism and policymaking from the Bench. ”

“ One of the most important decisions a President will ever make is the decision to nominate a Justice to the United States Supreme Court. Last week, Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his decision to take senior status. ”
