Peggy Noonan: 'Black Robed Masters' Decide What's Right for America

Below you can find some of the notable comments made Sunday on "This Week with George Stephanopoulos." Roundtable guests included former Obama 2012 campaign manager Jim Messina; former Bush deputy chief of staff Karl Rove; "Nightline" co-anchor Terry Moran, who covers the Supreme Court for ABC News; Democratic strategist and ABC News contributor Donna Brazile; Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan; ABC News global affairs anchor Christiane Amanpour; Atlantic national correspondent Jeffrey Goldberg; former Romney campaign senior adviser Dan Senor, co-founder of the Foreign Policy Initiative; and TIME Magazine assistant managing editor Rana Foroohar.

Noonan describes the Supreme Court justices as 'black robed masters'

NOONAN: Yeah, Americans don't take it well and don't accept it as a resolution when their black robed masters in Washington decide to put on them what they decide is the right thing.

Noonan finds Congress' work to be 'slightly Banana Republican-esque' after budget plan is passed overnight

NOONAN: Yeah. It - it does seem a little strange that they work sometimes on The Hill in a slightly Banana Republican-esque kind of way, where they're making moves at 3:00 am while all of America is asleep.

Brazile thinks the GOP is 'out to lunch'

BRAZILE: But here's the thing, the Republican Party is out to lunch. It's not just mechanics. It's not just communication. I mean, it's the party that continues to reject the majority of the American people and they feel it. They don't want to be associated with a party that talks down to them, that's condescending, that attacks their rights and then call them victims.

So, I think they're out to lunch. And as far as I'm concerned, I will give them a bus ticket pass to continue to stay off the national radar.

Goldberg states it is hard for a POTUS to 'catch a break' in Middle East affairs

GOLDBERG: This Syria case is an example of consequences of non-interventionism. In other words, a President of the United States cannot really catch a break in the Middle East. Either you're intervening too much, you're not intervening enough, there are, we might wind up a couple years from now thinking, man, we really should have done something a couple of years earlier to stop what is unfolding in Syria from unfolding.
