Melvin Watt: “We want some tough, hard-nosed decisions that have nothing to do with politics.”

If you look at my record throughout my whole life, from the day I started in the practice of law in a civil rights law firm, you will find nobody, or few people, who are more committed to the things that you all have talked about today.

It is horrific to me, to think that, one day, when my daughter enters the workforce, that she might be harassed.

I would certainly emphasize that if anybody here has the notion that I believe that I am above the law, they should dissuade themselves of that notion.

No one is above the law.
