We call ourselves public servants but I’ll tell you this: we as public servants must set an example for the rest of the nation. It is hypocritical for the public official to admonish and exhort the people to uphold the common good.

We have a positive vision of the future founded on the belief that the gap between the promise and reality of America can one day be finally closed. We believe that.

If the society today allows wrongs to go unchallenged, the impression is created that those wrongs have the approval of the majority.

Today, I am an inquisitor. I shall not sit here and be an idle spectator to the diminution, the subversion, the destruction of the Constitution.

If youre going to play the game properly, youd better know every rule.

The Supreme Court has always been the last bastion of the protection of our freedoms.

Let’s all understand that these guiding principles cannot be discarded for short-term political gains. They represent what this country is all about. They are indigenous to the American idea. And these are principles which are not negotiable.

In this kind of dictatorship, in this kind of totalitarian society, it is easy to make deals that you cannot make in a democratic society.

If we have only one that can govern, and we chose him… does that mean we’re not democratic?

This may well have made it more rather than less democratic than many countries today .

Is, I think, the ultimate indignity to the democratic process.
