John Cornyn in Alito Confirmation Hearings

On Principles & Values: Justices should respect law, not impose political agendas

Groups are trying to defeat your nomination because you will not support their liberal agenda. I want judges on the Supreme Court who will not use their position to impose a political agenda on the American people. I want judges on the Supreme Court who will respect the words and meaning of the Constitution, the laws enacted by Congress. A Supreme Court appointment is not a free ticket to rewrite our laws however you and your colleagues see fit." Source: Sam Alito Senate Confirmation Hearings Jan 9, 2006
