Political Quotes

“today I wish to remember Justice Antonin Scalia and thank him for his service to the Supreme Court and the country. Justice Scalia was a first-generation American, and his life was a testament to the American dream. A student of history and the law, Antonin Scalia had a commitment to public service that culminated in his appointment as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court by President Ronald Reagan in 1986. Justice Scalia served on the Court for almost 30 years and in that time made many important contributions to our legal system. While he had firm convictions, he also loved people and never let ideas get in the way of friendship, most notably with fellow Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Senator Margaret Chase Smith once said: ``Public service must be more than doing a job efficiently and honestly. It must be a complete dedication to the people and to the nation.'' Justice Scalia believed in that complete dedication. Our thoughts and prayers remain with his family at this time, and we thank him and them for his service. ____________________”
