[Barack] Obama has little, if any, principles except to aggrandize and make himself more and more important.

I have been in schools around the country, and I have written on education for years. Once, I was once doing a profile on Justice William Brennan and I was in his chambers, and Brennan asked, "How do we get the words of the Bill of Rights into the lives of the students?" Well, it is not difficult. You tell them stories.

[I wanted] to play the clarinet well so I could be in Duke Ellington's band, but that's now impossible.

We are going to have a long period where people are accustomed or conditioned to what's going on now with the raping of the Fourth Amendment.

I am an atheist, although I very much admire and have been influenced by many traditionally religious people.

[My wife] has some investments and stuff.

[Barack] Obama seems to have no firm principles that I can discern that he will adhere to.
