"The first and foremost goal, I think, of law enforcement would be to identify persons who are dangerous, who have a tendency or have been proven to be lawbreakers and been convicted."

"The Solicitor General... has a duty, the Department of Justice does, to defend the laws passed by this body, by Congress."

"I remember almost all the cases had an interstate commerce nexus. It was not the theft of an automobile that you prosecuted."

"Well, it can fail to enforce it by setting prosecutorial policies with regard to declining to prosecute whole chunks of cases and, in effect, eliminate a statute."
