Contributing sentiments towards policy:

44% : Jackson said that that "is the nature of a right.""When there is a right, it means that there are limitations on regulation, even if people are regulating pursuant to their sincerely held religious beliefs," Jackson said.
41% : Similarly, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Tex., questioned Jackson on Tuesday on the court's authority in Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 decision that legalized marriage equality - which he called an "edict.""When the Supreme Court decides that something that is not even in the Constitution is a fundamental right and no state can pass any law that conflicts with the Supreme Court's edict, particularly in an area where people have sincerely held religious beliefs, doesn't that necessarily create a conflict between what people may believe as a matter of their religious doctrine or faith and what the federal government says is the law of the land?"
35% : Critical of activism from the bench, Braun cited a series of landmark decisions made by the court, including Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion, and Loving v. Virginia, which legalized interracial marriage.
