It is a matter of enormous pride to see two of our colleagues become Supreme Court justices. The Reagan administration was very deliberate in trying to promote bright, ambitious young conservatives. And this is in many respects the fulfillment of that effort.

This was a man who obviously was not altogether comfortable in the spotlight.

I had recruited him to be my deputy. Sam had impressed me as an extraordinarily gifted lawyer. He was careful and rigorous. He didn't come across as an open and obvious conservative activist, like me, for example.

It might not stop after this action or even the next action, but we have to keep saying it. That's why they call it movements, not moments.

If you study that case, what you find is a judge doing his level best to discern the rule of law.

We were there to reverse course from the policies of the Carter administration, certainly. Everybody was there with similar goals and intentions.

We have enough water in our reservoirs spread across the city and stocked by this pipeline.

I just remember being stunned. We all looked at each other and thought, 'What good are we to this man?'?

He literally does not have an enemy in the world, unless it's some of the criminals he's prosecuted.

He would bet on anything...but he wouldn't bet on something he knew.

I don't expect it to have any effect on the president.
