I stated at Justice [John] Roberts' hearing, the court's injected itself into many of the political debates of our day.
Sam Brownback
The people believed that while the courts would be independent, they would defer to the political branches on policy issues.

The next president needs to know foreign policy and not learn it on the job.
Sam Brownback
I believe in the sanctity of marriage.

Sam Brownback

Sam Brownback
We are at our best when we help the weakest. The weak make us strong.
Sam Brownback
Most Americans want judges who will stick to interpreting the law rather than making it.
Sam Brownback

Sam Brownback
In recent years, even as the court has become an increasingly political body, the Senate is not focused on preserving any perceived ideological balance when Democrat presidents have appointed people to the court.
Sam Brownback
And you can claim whatever you want to of being pro-life or pro- choice, but the right to a abortion is not in the Constitution. The court created it. It created a constitutional right. And these decisions removed a fully appropriate political judgment from the people of the several states and has led to many adverse consequences.
Sam Brownback
If you get married, you lose all your benefits. That's insane! We should give people bonuses for getting married, and sending signals and talking about it to the society.
Sam Brownback
Seats on the [Court] bench are not reserved for causes or interests. They're given to those who will uphold the rule of law so long as the nominee is well-qualified to interpret and apply the law.
