We must take proactive steps to promote democracy and human rights abroad.
Sam Brownback
[Felix Frankfurter] said courts are not representative bodies. They're not designed to be a good reflex of a democratic society. Their judgment is best informed and, therefore, most dependable within narrow limits.
Sam Brownback
The court's injected itself in the definition of marriage, deciding whether or not human life is worth protecting, permitting government to transfer private property from one person to another, even interpreting the Constitution on the basis of foreign and international laws.
Sam Brownback
We are at our best when we help the weakest. The weak make us strong.
Sam Brownback
I do a number of things working on human rights issues, prison recidivism rates, and then I also push and have worked a lot on the social issues of rebuilding the family.
Sam Brownback
I enjoyed working with Ted Kennedy.
Sam Brownback
Everybody has values. Now, you know it may be formed in a secular setting, it may be formed in an intellectual setting, but everybody comes forward with values.
Sam Brownback
Narrow scope of judicial power was the reason that people accepted the idea that the federal courts could have the power of judicial review that is, the ability to decide whether a challenged law comports with the Constitution.
Sam Brownback
I went to a number of foreign countries, and during whenever I went, I would try to go to an orphanage or a home for children. And I was seeing thousands of kids around the world that needed homes.
Sam Brownback
The next president needs to know foreign policy and not learn it on the job.
Sam Brownback
The people believed that while the courts would be independent, they would defer to the political branches on policy issues.
Sam Brownback
I stated at Justice [John] Roberts' hearing, the court's injected itself into many of the political debates of our day.
Sam Brownback
I'm a Ronald Reagan conservative. I'm an economic conservative, I'm strong military. But I also voice and speak and work hard on the social issues.
Sam Brownback
You can raise good children in single parent households, and many of you perhaps here today come from that type of environment. It is possible and many do it in heroic situations, but it's much more difficult and the numbers move against us in a broad society.
Sam Brownback
I believe you [Samuel Alito] and others would look and say that the role of the courts is limited and it's not to decide political matters.
Sam Brownback
As we consider the fast pace of scientific and technological progress in our modern world, we must not lose our moral compass and give way to 'free market eugenics'.
Sam Brownback
I always think that the party that offers the most hope and ideas for the future is the party that wins.
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
To kill [children in the womb] makes us all the poorer, insensitive, calloused and jaded.
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.
