The Constitution is not a law, but it empowers the people to make laws... The Constitution tells us what shall not be a lawful tender...

I think it's very important that we protect marriage as an institution between a man and a woman. I proposed a constitutional amendment.

And the surest way to protect marriage between a man and woman is to amend the Constitution.
I unequivocally repeat: marriage in accordance with the Polish Constitution is a union between a man and a woman.

He's a man who... well, one of the great things about Shakespeare is that his characters are inconsistent, and that's something I think makes him a writer above most writers because inconsistency is what we, as people, are full of.

The Constitution I uphold and defend is the one I carry in my pocket all the time, the U.S. Constitution. I don't know what Constitution that other members of Congress uphold, but it's not this one. I think the only Constitution that Barack Obama upholds is the Soviet constitution, not this one.
I think it's offensive to equate evangelical Christians, Catholics, others that view marriage as between a man and a woman, as being racist. We're not racist.

Clearly what differentiates the U.S. from other countries is the U.S. Constitution. The Constitution defines us as a people. Without the Constitution, we would be a different country. Therefore, to lose the Constitution is to lose the country.

I feel that the constitution is workable, it is flexible and it is strong enough to hold the country together both in peacetime and in wartime.
