Ronald Reagan actually said...

"Long after the policies of Presidents and Senators and Congressmen of any given era may have passed from public memory, they'll be remembered."

"I am proud to nominate Michael J. Connally to this important position."

"Judge O'Connor, in my view, will bring new lustre and new strength to the Supreme Court."

"I made a commitment that one of my first appointments to the Supreme Court vacancy would be the most qualified woman that I could possibly find."
