- Factors
- |

All first responders do noble work, and all of them deserve our respect and our appreciation.
- Face

Freedom of religion requires not only freeing religion from undue government regulation and interference. It also requires freeing religion from discrimination and from vile acts of hatred and persecution.
- Constitution
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The central genius of the American Constitution lies in its use of structure to protect individual liberty. It does not rely solely, or even primarily, on grants of substantive rights.
- Confidence
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Nationwide injunctions undermine the democratic process, depart from history and tradition, violate constitutional principles, and impede sound judicial administration, all at the cost of public confidence in our institutions and particularly in our courts as apolitical decision-makers dispassionately applying objective law.

- Nov 07, 2020
With the growing availability of commoditized encryption, it is becoming easier for common criminals to communicate beyond the reach of traditional surveillance.
- Deploy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
While we should not hesitate to deploy encryption to protect ourselves from cybercriminals, this should not be done in a way that eviscerates society's ability to defend itself against other types of criminal threats. In other words, making our virtual world more secure should not come at the expense of making us more vulnerable in the real world.
- Deploying
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
While encryption protects against cyberattacks, deploying it in warrant-proof form jeopardizes public safety more generally.

From the Founding Era onward, there was strong consensus about the centrality of religious liberty in the United States.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The imperative of protecting religious freedom was not just a nod in the direction of piety. It reflects the Framers' belief that religion was indispensable to sustaining our free system of government.
- Men
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Men are subject to powerful passions and appetites, and, if unrestrained, are capable of ruthlessly riding roughshod over their neighbors and the community at large.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Leadership
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The consensus for a strong, independent Executive arose from the Framers' experience in the Revolution and under the Articles of Confederation. They had seen that the War had almost been lost and was a bumbling enterprise because of the lack of strong Executive leadership.
- Nation
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In so many areas, it is critical to our Nation's future that we restore and preserve in their full vigor our Founding principles. Not the least of these is the Framers' vision of a strong, independent Executive, chosen by the country as a whole.
- History
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As we look back over the sweep of American history, it has been the American Presidency that has best fulfilled the vision of the Founders. It has brought to our Republic a dynamism and effectiveness that other democracies have lacked.

When a federal court issues an order against enforcement of a government policy, the ruling traditionally applies only to the plaintiff in that case.

A Supreme Court justice must convince at least four colleagues to bind the federal government nationwide, whereas a district court judge issuing a nationwide injunction needn't convince anyone.
- Must

- Nov 07, 2020
Only an approach combining tough law enforcement with physical, moral and educational revitalization of high-crime areas offers the prospect of a safer America.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In the Justice Department, responsibility for overseeing and directing investigations is lodged in the department's prosecutors.
- Decision
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
An attorney general's duty is to render her opinion and honest advice; she cannot set herself up as a judge overruling the president's decision. The president need not 'convince' his subordinate that his decision reflects the best view of the law.
- Only
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Presidential powers are not exercised by a body or group. The Constitution vests 'all executive power' in one and only one person - the president.
- Government
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In our system of government, the Supreme Court ultimately decides on the constitutionality of laws passed by Congress or of presidential actions. When their actions are challenged, both Congress and the president are entitled to have their positions forcefully advocated in court.
- Government
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I mean, republics have fallen because of Praetorian Guard mentality where government officials get very arrogant, they identify the national interest with their own political preferences and they feel that anyone who has a different opinion, you know, is somehow an enemy of the state.
- Know
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
From my perspective the idea of resisting a democratically elected president and basically throwing everything at him and, you know, really changing the norms on the grounds that we have to stop this president, that is where the shredding of our norms and our institutions is occurring.
