My goal is always to keep support for Israel a bi-partisan issue and never make a national election any kind of referendum on Israel.

That's when civil liberty suffers - when we think special times justify the diminution of civil liberties. And I'm not going to accept that.

In our criminal justice system, we say it's better for 10 guilty people to go free than for even one innocent person to be wrongly convicted.

You know, it's ironic to me that Christians want to keep the Ten Commandments in our schools, because Christianity has abrogated four of the Ten Commandments. For example, the Sabbath day according to the Ten Commandments is Saturday, not Sunday. And the reason is because God rested, not because Jesus was resurrected.

Ed Koch will never "rest in peace." That was not his way. He was always nervously squirming, while making others squirm as well. Comfort was not his goal. He understood that to be a proud and assertive Jew meant never being able to leave a sigh of relief and say "it's over, we are at peace, we can now put down our guard and relax."

Judges are the weakest link in our system of justice and they are also the most protected.

The court of last resort is no longer the Supreme Court. It's 'Nightline.'
