• Los mercados funcionan mejor cuando hay mucha información disponible y un historial en el que basarse; son excelentes para predecir cosas como carreras de caballos, resultados electorales y taquillazos.

• El Tribunal Supremo ha dicho que: El matrimonio es la relación más importante en la vida. Ahora eso se les está negando a los demandantes. Es la base de la sociedad. Es esencial para la búsqueda ordenada de la felicidad. Es un derecho más antiguo que la Carta de Derechos y más antiguo que nuestros partidos políticos. Una de las libertades protegidas por la Cláusula del Debido Proceso. Un derecho de intimidad hasta el punto de ser sagrado. Y un derecho de libertad igualmente disponible para una persona en una relación homosexual como para las personas heterosexuales.

• El Tribunal Supremo nunca ha dictaminado que el Congreso pueda utilizar la Cláusula de Comercio para obligar a las personas a realizar una actividad que han decidido evitar.

• John Boehner has to start taking a macro step towards the American people, away from the more radical elements of his party. You know, it's almost a form of anarchy. We have a law that was passed by Congress. We have a law that the Supreme Court said was legal. It's been implemented. And I'm sorry they don't like it. There's been a lot of laws in the past the Democrats didn't like. But that's what this country is about. You pass laws. And if they are deemed legal, you respect them and you move forward.

• Twenty-six years ago the highest court in this land did an incredible thing. They issued a Supreme Court decision that really boils down to one simple and profoundly evil idea: They said that our unborn children have no rights that the rest of us are bound to respect. And when they made that decision they unleashed on America an unbelievable event that has undermined who we are and what we believe.
