Mitt Romney would move the Court even further right, putting landmark decisions like Roe v. Wade at risk. Some say Romney would repeat the past. I disagree - he'd be worse.
Mitt Romney's only bottom line is the one at the end of his own bank statement. The problem is that he confuses his own narrow, self-interest - and that of people like him - with the national interest. He thinks as long as we do right by the Mitt Romneys of the world, America will be just fine.
The Tea Party people are ideologues. They are right, and no one can change their minds. There is no reason for compromise.
The Tea Party elites gained extraordinary influence by being able to funnel millions of undisclosed dollars into campaigns with ads that distort the truth and attack government.
The Tea Party elites believe government is evil. Everything about government is bad, and they blame all problems, even non-economic problems, problems that were caused by the private sector, on government.

You may very well possess the most powerful intellect of any person to come before the Senate for this position, ... tour de force.
This is not a game of 'gotcha.' This is a game to figure out how somebody thinks and what their judicial philosophy is and what their method legal reasoning is, ... He doesn't have to answer every one of those questions to get an idea. But I don't think it would be very helpful if he said, 'I can't answer any of them.'
The bottom line is there are lots of problems that were not created by government. The biggest one is loss of middle class incomes, loss of good-paying jobs which was created by technology and globalization. Above all, when you can move a job to China or India, it reduces wages.
