I attended the public schools.And I have happy memories and strong memories of those days and good memories of the good sense and the decency of my friends and my neighbors.

I think that Congress's ability to reason is fully equal to that of the judiciary.

Good judges develop certain habits of mind. One of those habits of mind is the habit of delaying reaching conclusions until everything has been considered.

This was a time of great intellectual excitement for me. Both college and law school opened up new worlds of ideas.

I assume that those who cling to old beliefs will be able to whisper their thoughts in the recesses of their homes, but if they repeat those views in public, they will risk being labeled as bigots and treated as such by governments, employers, and schools.

If you want know what sort of a justice I would make, then look at what sort of a judge I have been.

I think that the legitimacy of the court would be undermined in any case if the court made a decision based on its perception of public opinion.
