John Cornyn

John Cornyn
I want judges on the Supreme Court who will respect the words and the meaning of the Constitution, the laws enacted by Congress and the laws enacted by state legislatures.
John Cornyn
Sometimes, it might be called conservative sometimes it might be called liberal. But the point is that the meaning of the Constitution and other laws should not change unless we the people change them.
John Cornyn
