Telling the public, 'We'll get to it later,' is inadequate. That's what the federal government does.

One of the challenges for lawyers can be explaining, first of all, what the legal issue is and, second, its significance. And both of those are important.

We are moving the debate in a more limited government direction. And in a more rule of law direction, a more conservative direction.

Because the Advanced Placement Examination test is the required end-of-course examination, it cannot reasonably be viewed as a service or program for which a fee may be levied.

I guess blustery liberal Republicans flock together.

I don't believe you back off being pro-life: You don't stop being pro-life because they say you're mean because you're pro-life.

I have a serious concern about middle-class families being able to afford college.

I do think a focus on fiscal restraint is a central element of the Tea Party, and thank goodness for it!

The media is really failing the American people.
