Q: "In what cases should abortion be legal?"
A: "Incest, rape or when the life of the mother is threatened."
Q: "Is it feasible and humane to build a border fence, have the police detain illegal immigrants when they encounter them and take them to deportation facilities?"
A: "Yes. Economically, I don't know what it would cost to secure our border, but absolutely, we must secure our borders. We must do whatever it takes...It is a matter of national security."
Q: "You may end up voting on Supreme Court nominees. Explain judicial activism, what it means to be a 'strict constructionist' and whether or not you believe the Constitution is a 'living document.'"
A: "Judicial activism is where a judge gets on the bench and decides that they have the power...and they'll move a social agenda forward or anything else that is of their particular interest. That is unacceptable...The Constitution is the granite cornerstone of our society...and it shouldn't be modified."
Q: "Does Article 2, Section 2 of the Constitution make the un-examined appointment of czars illegal?"
A: "I don't think that the appointment of czars is legal at all because they are policy-making people that I believe come under the same rules and regulations as cabinet members and I think they are subject to Senate confirmation."
Q: "How do you prevent groups like ACORN from getting federal funds?"
A: "We have to have sunset clauses on appropriation bills. We have to have single-subject legislation that doesn't allow for the hiding of earmarks."
Q: "Have you signed the Manhattan Declaration?"
A: "I believe I have already signed it. I've been to that site several times. If I haven't, I will."
Q: "Is global warming happening, man-made and/or a threat to take seriously?"
A: "We have climate change, but I think it's cyclical. I think that man may have a minimal effect on that, but...I'm not sure that it causes a global warming or cooling."
Q: "Should we have allowed General Motors to go under?"
A: "Yes, we should have. They should have never been given the $30 billion first that George Bush gave them, and then the bailout. We live in a free market economy. And when the government gets involved, they never get out of it."
Q: "Has the stimulus package slowed the recession?"
A: "I don't think so. I don't think it's helped at all. That stimulus package was passed in January. In that were 9,000 earmarks. Currently, they're saying that about 16-18% of that has been spent. However...85% of that was on the 9,000 earmarks, which had no resemblance to any kind of stimulus."

Excellent interview. I'm with the judge all the way!
The Bible allows NO exceptions for an abortion.
