Political Quotes

“We do not serve the cause of justice by confusing unhappiness with particular judges and particular decisions with the functions of the judiciary. The gentleman is making a valiant effort to protect that function. I hope that in some other context those efforts are more successful. I regret, although I understand fully, the situation in which he found himself, that we will not be able to vote on it now. I will say, as an aside, this does make it an easier decision for me because, had the gentleman offered the amendment and had it been succeeded, I would have been conflicted, but now I can vote against what I think is kind of a silly bill without any problem.”
