Justice

But the successful prosecution of Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols should offer a measure of comfort that all Americans stand with the families of Oklahoma City.

I know that no verdict in a court of law can ease the loss of a loved one.

We are finally—and decisively—tipping the scales of justice in favor of law-abiding Americans.

This Federal effort must continue until all those responsible are brought to justice and no more fires burn.

Young people must understand that if they break the law, they will be punished, and if they commit violent crimes, they will be punished severely.

We must do everything we can to help the victims of crime to make sure their voices are heard in the corridors of justice.

Carjackers who rape their victims will meet with nothing less than the full force of the law.

The integrity of our legal system depends on the integrity of our courts.

We have always been committed to making our legal system the best, the most effective, and the fairest in the world.

We must see to it that juries decide cases based only on evidence presented in the courtroom.

This provision is clearly discriminatory and wholly unwarranted.

Our goal should be to make crime the exception rather than the rule.

I'm going to fight it. It's not right.

It is essential for Federal law enforcement to have this authority because the States cannot bring these criminals to justice.

We will not tolerate criminals who defraud the system and seek to profit from the hunger of others.

We will find you. We will catch you. We will make you pay.

Judge Mikva, a man of uncompromising integrity and judgment, is the right person for this job.

I am sure they will be of great service to our Nation's courts.
