“The American people are fairly happy right now because the economy is going well. But I can tell you, there is one underlying sentiment in this country that is undeniable, and it is that the vast majority of the people in this country don't think we, who live in this rarefied atmosphere, know what their everyday lives are like, and they are right. Here is an opportunity to restore people's confidence in the system. It doesn't happen often. One of the reasons this amendment may not prevail is because in the scheme of things, with 268 million people in this country and probably no more than, what should I say, 10,000, 20,000 at most will appear before grand juries in any given year and answer questions, who cares about 10,000 people out of 268 million? I care. If I didn't, I wouldn't be staying here tonight to offer this amendment. ...justice denied to one single soul is an aberration to a free nation.”
