| abstract
| - Douglas, although viewed as conservative in his approach to justice and politics, identifies as a moderate who "understands the importance of individual liberty but also the equal importance of protecting what unifies us [Americans]: our traditions, cultures and values." He supports the federal death penalty and states' rights to decide on whether or not they want it, and has committed himself recently to overseeing the dismantlement of "any unconstitutional practices that any subdivision of the Justice Department may be involved with". He opposes the notion of the Constitution being "living law", and has stated that any judge who does not interpret the Constitution as it is written in text is "overstepping" and "violating" his office. Douglas is an outspoken opponent of gun control, which led to a controversy in February 2013 while he was Idaho's Attorney General, when he publicly stated that he will refuse to enforce any "unconstitutional" gun control measures and will direct state law enforcement to do the same.
