Fox News Sunday interviews during 2021: on Government Reform


Chris Christie: There's no solid evidence that 2020 election was stolen

Even if he doesn't formally concede, we need to stop talking about the fact that the election was stolen, when, as I lay out in the book, there's really no solid evidence that it was. And talking about this now is defeating for the Republican Party. You know, voters always want the next election, Bret, to be about the future, not about the past.

Stephen Breyer: If people want to change nomination process it will be

I was confirmed. And I was nominated. And the confirmation process and the nomination process, well, I say it's like asking for the recipe for Chicken a la King from the point of view of the chicken. Yes, that's a flip joke. But the truth of the joke is, that's the political environment. Now you may disapprove of it, I may disapprove of it, and if enough people in the public want it to change or be modified one way or the other, it will be.

I'm there for everybody. I'm not just there for the Democrats. I'm not just there for the Republicans. And I'm not just there because a president was a Democrat who appointed me.

And part of it is to remember that you're there for everyone. They won't like what you say half the time or more, but you're still there for them. That's the privilege of the job in a way. You have to give your all. You have to work as hard as you can. So, you see, I think it's important we have trust.

Stephen Breyer: Trump election challenge didn't meet criteria for Court

Q: Here is what Trump said about the 2020 election challenges:

TRUMP: No judge, including the Supreme Court of the United States, has had the courage to allow it to be heard.

Q: Why was that?

BREYER: Why was it? Because they didn't bring a case, I guess, that met the normal criteria for being heard. When we decide to take a case, there have to be four votes to take it. So I can't go beyond that. If we don't take a case all likelihood is that the criteria weren't met.

Stephen Breyer: Open to term limits on the Supreme Court if long enough

Q: What do you think of the idea of increasing the number of justices?

BREYER: Well, if one party could do it, I guess another party could do it. And on the surface it seems to me you start changing all these things around, and people will lose trust in the court.

Q: What about term limits?

BREYER: Well, I think you could do that. It should be a very long term because you don't want the judge who's holding that term to start thinking about his next job. But it would make life easier for me.

Asa Hutchinson: The Electoral College is critical to our nation

While I do believe there can be an effective review always to make sure our systems of elections work well, the Electoral College is what is critical to our nation. I supported that, and his challenge to that was wrong and did not serve our nation well and it was demonstrated on January 6th.

Mitt Romney: If we're going to have unity, we need accountability

[On impeachment for Trump inciting an insurrection]: "Well, we're certainly going to have a trial. I wish that weren't necessary, but the president's conduct with regards to the call to Secretary of State Raffensperger in Georgia as well as the incitation towards the insurrection that led to the attack on the Capitol call for a trial," Romney said. "And, you know, if we're going to have unity in our country, I think it's important to recognize the need for accountability, for truth and justice.
