Let me blow that up for you again.

It's nice to say let's be bipartisan. But we're a partisan nation. We were raised as a partisan nation.

With vision only, you get no follow-through. With enforcers only, the vision is realized but leaves a lot of wreckage.

A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.

The Court is perhaps one of the last citadels of jealously preserved individualism. For the most part, we function as nine, small independent law firms.

We all hoped in 2001 that we could put in place an Afghan government under President Karzai that would be able to control the country, make sure al-Qaeda didn't come back, and make sure the Taliban wasn't resurging. It didn't work out.

We have to be on guard that we don't spend so much time worrying about terrorism and guarding ourselves that we start to lose the essence of who we are as an open, freedom-loving people, welcoming to the rest of the world.
