I think most people didn't want to do court duty.

Historically courts in this country have been insulated. We do not look beyond our borders for precedents.

A state of war is not a blank check... when it comes to the rights of the Nation's citizens.

My sense is that jurists from other nations around the world understand that our court occupies a very special place in the American system, and that the court is rather well regarded in comparison, perhaps, to their own.

Each of us brings to our job, whatever it is, our lifetime of experience and our values.

If a State refused to let religious groups use facilities open to others, then it would demonstrate not neutrality but hostility toward religion.

I finally gave up my little law practice and stayed home for about three years. You have to do what you can to keep the family going. But I wanted to get back to work. So I got another babysitter and went to work as an Assistant Attorney General.
