Judges are not members of Congress, they're not state legislators, governors, nor presidents. Their job is not to pass laws, implement regulations, nor to make policy.

More quotes by Mike DeWine
I'm not the first to have raised these democratic concerns. Many have faulted the court for its lack of clarity in certain cases and many have criticized its recent lack of deference to decisions made by state legislatures and Congress.
Mike DeWine
After all, our Constitution was intended as a popular document. It was drafted and ratified by the people. It established democratic institutions. It entrusts the people with the power to make the tough decisions. And, in most cases, it prefers the will of the people to the unchecked rule of judges.
Mike DeWine
That very document [Constitution] does little to serve people when Supreme Court decisions are written so that even high-priced lawyers can't figure them out.
Mike DeWine
There's no typical person [addicted to heroin]. It just has permeated every segment of society in Ohio.
Mike DeWine
Well, you know, my wife and I have eight children. We have now 19 grandchildren.
Mike DeWine
Sometimes local, state and federal laws so clearly run afoul of the Constitution that the court must step in and strike them down. In most cases, the court performs this admirably and with great restraint.
Mike DeWine
There's no psychological barrier anymore that stops a young person or an older person from taking heroin.
Mike DeWine
The entertainment industry is encouraging young people to defy and deceive their parents.
Mike DeWine
In his brief 21 years on this earth, Michael Smith Jr. touched countless lives.
Mike DeWine
I put a lot of emphasis on childrens issues. Children are many times ignored because they dont vote, and they dont have lobby groups.
Mike DeWine
Judges need to restrict themselves to the proper resolution of the case before them. They need to avoid the temptation to set broad policy.
Mike DeWine
Im for the fracking. I think its an opportunity for Ohio to really get a lot of jobs. But we have to do it right. We have to really take a deep breath, do it right, make sure the public is protected, make sure our land is protected.
Mike DeWine
To add to the confusion, some of the court's decisions involved multiple concurrences and dissents, making it hard even for lawyers and judges to figure out what the law is and why.
Mike DeWine
The Constitution empowers the people to resolve our day's most contentious issues. When judges forget this basic truth, they do a disservice to our democracy and to our constitution.
Mike DeWine
One of the most important things that I have learned in my 57 years is that life is all about choices. On every journey you take, you face choices. At every fork in the road, you make a choice. And it is those decisions that shape our lives.
Mike DeWine
If Congress were to censure, fine or otherwise try to punish a president, it would dramatically alter the balance of power between the branches.
Mike DeWine
This is the worst drug epidemic I've seen in my lifetime.
Mike DeWine
There is no place in Ohio where you couldn't have drugs delivered to you in 15, 20 minutes.
Mike DeWine
It's in every single county. It's in our cities but it's also in our wealthier suburbs. It's in our small towns. There is no place in Ohio where you can hide from drug epidemic .
Mike DeWine
I have seen the cycle of a non-violent, mentally ill offender who is arrested repeatedly and put into the system repeatedly-never being treated for his illness and, as a result, becoming more and more ill.
Mike DeWine
