“I don’t think there’s any question that someday somebody who is innocent will be executed in this country again.”

There are a lot of messages that need to be sent to the criminal who is out there dealing in this on the streets of the United States. We need to send the message of swiftness and certain punishment.

The health care reform legislation passed by the U.S. House of Representatives last night clearly violates the U.S. Constitution and infringes on each state’s sovereignty.

I must point out that doubling the size of the criminal code will not matter if the Clinton-Gore administration refuses to vigorously enforce these laws.

I don’t believe in involving the government in enforcing or encouraging the lifestyle of gays and homosexuals.

[A new all-encompassing national identification system] contradicts some of our most sacrosanct American principles of personal liberty and expectations of privacy and is far in excess of what is needed to provide us with the security and protections we all want.

You can’t expect law enforcement to provide the solution to the drug problem.

A trial without witnesses, when it involves a criminal accusation, a criminal matter, is not a true trial.

Other states are trying to abolish the death penalty… mine’s putting in an express lane.

I could give 48 penalties in every match if I wanted to.

That was never a penalty in a million planets.

Personally I am very much against the death penalty for several reasons.

It is a question of sometimes choosing what is – in your own mind – of material importance and what isn’t, what might be a crucial potential penalty and what might not be.

The pressures are intense, because the rewards for success and the penalty for failure are more and more.

We have the death penalty in Saudi Arabia, and people should respect this.

His only fault is that he has no fault.
