I'm not going to critique every utterance of the president.

President Obama had two Supreme Court nominees in his first term. There was no filibuster against them.

I don't think there should be a litmus test on judges, no matter who the president is.

Almost without exception, President Obama begins serious policy discussions by explaining why everyone else is wrong. After he assigns straw men to your views, he enthusiastically attempts to knock them down with a theatrically earnest re-litigation of what you've missed about his brilliance.

Things happen in American politics in the political center. If the President will meet us in the center, there are things we can accomplish.

It is a president's constitutional right to nominate a Supreme Court justice, and it is the Senate's constitutional right to act as a check on a president and withhold its consent.
