“The wisdom of those who drafted our Constitution and 
    conceived our nation as functioning with three strong and 
    independent branches have proven truly remarkable. It is 
    the responsibility of every generation to be true to the 
    founders’ vision of the proper role of the courts in our 
    society. If confirmed, I recognize that I will have a 
    tremendous responsibility to keep our judicial system 
    strong and help ensure that the courts meet their 
    obligation to strictly apply the law and the
    Constitution.”
