"If there is a decision made in this country that we ought to change the rules and not have the death penalty, that is one thing."

"There was the prosecution of a Senator, Ted Stevens, which has drawn severe criticism from the presiding Federal judge."

"The rule of law, civil liberties, and civil rights--these are not our burdens. They are what make us better."

"We have got to help Mexico get this under control."
