Court Quotations | Page 2

I believe that one version of the good in life can be defined by the moments I sometimes had playing tennis as a sixteen-year-old. You'd be out on the court and for an hour, two hours, sometimes an entire roasting hot day, and every single thing you hit would go in. Hit that ball as hard as you wanted, wherever you wanted, and it went in.

Call it Camelot's revenge: the class of court scribes who made it their profession to uphold a make-believe version of America free of conflict and ruled by noble men helped Nixon get away with it for so long - because, after all, America was ruled by noble men.

Do we want an Attorney General who will play politics with the law, play politics with the court and just play politics with international conventions designed to protect our troops? I do not want to play that kind of politics. I am going to vote against Alberto Gonzales.

I like to get out and get up the court, using my speed and aggressiveness toward the hoop.

I sent one e-mail in my life. I sent it to Jeff Raikes at Microsoft, and it ended up in court in Minneapolis, so I am one for one.

The felonious five in their Supreme Court decision never said Gore did anything improperly in Florida.

I believe an international criminal court is very much to be desired.

If Milosevic is to be tried, he has to be tried by a proper court, an impartial, properly constituted court which has international respect.

Please keep an open mind and let me have my day in court.

In 1979, the Supreme Court ruled 5-3 in Smith v. Maryland that a few days' worth of phone records for a single individual were not protected by the Fourth Amendment. The NSA today, though, collects hundreds of millions of phone records from hundreds of millions of Americans without an individualized warrant.

With legitimate journalists I've always had a great time - I've never gone out of my way to court the press. That's probably cost me some money, but I've always had the respect of my peers.

The first time I stepped on an NBA court I became a businessman.

To hear both critics and defenders talk about the fitness of Judge Sonia Sotomayor for the Supreme Court, you'd think the most successful Supreme Court justices had been warm, collegial consensus-builders. But history tells a different story.

I'm always on the court with my dad.

What's going to make me happy is going on the court and holding up trophies, singles and doubles.

There are days when I go out on the court and I feel like I can't miss a ball.

The court of last resort is no longer the Supreme Court. It's 'Nightline.'

Reverence for life is the highest court of appeal.

Before even Court Grip, I just wanted to be a part of a brand that I felt that listened to the athlete and really catered to the athlete, and gave us what we were looking for.

I don't court paparazzi. I definitely don't like that part of it.

Most high courts in other nations do not have discretion, such as we enjoy, in selecting the cases that the high court reviews. Our court is virtually alone in the amount of discretion it has.

Music is a part of my life all the time - on the plane, before matches, driving out to the court.

I have ventured to write more intimately about my personal life than is customary for a member of the Supreme Court, and with that candor comes a measure of vulnerability.

I consider myself a court jester - motivator.

No court presumes to tell a jury that they are to try a capital case with the same indifference and unconcern as to consequences, that they would a case where the results of their decision would be less important.

Civilians are arrested every single day - including innocent ones - and they must wait until their day in court in order to argue their side of the story. Police officers must be subjected to the same rules.

The Supreme Court has a very light backlog. They leave a lot of splits among the circuits, a lot of uncertainty. And I think they ought to work a lot harder.

There is a higher court than courts of justice and that is the court of conscience. It supercedes all other courts.

Although the FCC has tried to introduce net neutrality rules to avoid abusive practices like favoring your own services over others, they have struggled because there has been more than one court case in which it was asserted the FCC didn't have the authority to punish ISPs for abusing their control over the broadband channel.

Where I grew up, the basketball courts were rarely used.

When states like Alabama and Arizona passed some of the harshest immigration laws in history, my Attorney General took them on in court and we won.

Perhaps the most striking assault on the foundations of traditional liberties is a little-known case brought to the Supreme Court by the Obama administration, Holder v. Humanitarian Law Project.

The Pledge of Allegiance simply reinforces the beliefs that led to the birth of our great nation. It is an oath of our fidelity to our country, and I am disappointed that the court chose to rule against this American treasure,

We applied to summon more witnesses to appear in court and review the evaluation conclusions. So the Beijing No. 2 Intermediate People's Court has decided this case is postponed for one month.

We appear before the Supreme Court - who in their right mind would want to poke their finger in the eye of the next chief justice? Based on what we know, this is not a nominee that we can let go by unopposed.

We are always striving to enhance the overall experience of spectators at the Pacific Life Open. The addition of the Tennis! Link service will give fans an extra viewing dimension on the Stadium court while keeping them informed of results as they happen.

We are pleased with this decision. We asked them to talk to us when they made this change, and they wouldn't. That forced us to go through the court system. And yet again, the courts have supported our position.

We are pleased with the court order and believe this validates the good work the Flathead National Forest is doing, ... The folks on the forest work hard to manage healthy forest resources within the sideboards of numerous laws and regulations.

We are pleased to welcome Kareem back to the organization. Kareem was one of the best centers to ever play the game. His skills and talent on the court were truly remarkable and we look forward to having Kareem help our big men develop these skills and tutor them on what it takes to be a successful player in this league.

His skills and talent on the court were truly remarkable and we look forward to having Kareem help our big men develop these skills and tutor them on what it takes to be a successful player in this league.

We've all played some tough teams and not played up to our potential. I think the district season will boil down to home court advantage, trying to get the higher seeding for the district tournament.

We usually play full court almost every game. The second half has been ours the whole season. We play better in the second half for some reason.

We stuck to the basics. They have really good chemistry on the court and were able to put together a great run and get a little breathing room.

We stuck to our game plan of pushing the ball down the court. We kept pushing and pushing, and when (Flower Mound) started to get tired, we pushed some more. Some of their players got tired, but I kept fresh legs on the court by subbing in and out.

We are pleased the court ruled that a Vermont civil union has no legal validity in Virginia. Unless the federal Constitution is amended to protect traditional marriage, same-sex marriage advocates will continue using the courts to force their agenda on the rest of the country.

We are pleased the court decided the Indiana Constitution prohibits the Evansville school corporation from imposing a fee for programs and services that are essential to young Hoosiers' education.

We are at a defining moment. The court is going to decide when political parties go too far in rigging electoral districts for their own advantage.

We strongly oppose the Nebraska law that divides the Omaha public schools along racial lines. The Supreme Court ruled those 52 years ago that separate but equal schools result in inequality and poor education for minority children. We will use every advocacy tool, including legal, at our disposal to fight this unconstitutional law.

We stress El Camino tradition all the time. It's our job to hold court at home like so many of the past El Camino teams did. EC pride means simply not losing.

We still plan to complete Senate floor action on the Roberts nomination by the start of the new Supreme Court session, Oct. 3, 2005.

We're interested in continuing to develop our rural court services. We're interested in looking at facilities in both Nenana and Healy, and assessing how they are meeting our needs, what our future needs might be.

We started most of our matches practicing doubles. Our No. 3 spot is coming together, but Marion is out. It is going to be challenging on court without her.

We started going to the bucket and Banks got hot. We pushed the ball up court and attacked. Martin's 3 was big at the half. They run a style that we like, and our experience was a factor in making that work for us.

We spread the court well. Grant, who is an excellent passer, he's able to see over defenses.

We spent so much time on the defensive end of the court in practice. All 10 of my players were quick or really strong post defenders. I didn't have anyone that I felt would get scored upon by most people in high school. That gave me the freedom to sub more.

There is no more important issue than the purity of elections in this state, ... And I will tell ... the court that the elections are not pure.

Until the court has determined that they conducted an adequate search for my clients' documents, I think the document destruction should cease.

Until now, there's been a lot of skepticism whether these shrink-wrapped licenses are enforceable, ... UCITA says this is a contract, so all arguments that have existed in the past go out the window. The only hope you have is that the Supreme Court will rule that it's pre-empted.

We believe that everyone should have the right to listen to the music they purchase, even if it's on the Internet, ... While we respect the court, we disagree with the court's decision and we look forward to taking our case to the court of appeals.

We've been able to celebrate Big East championships and NCAA Tournament appearances while playing in the sold out Petersen Events Center. That success on the court has been mirrored by tremendous academic achievement. Pitt basketball has a very bright future and we are working to build on our recent success.

Tom was one of those perpetual-motion reporters, always running from one court to another, ... And if he wasn't in the courthouse or at a trial, he was on the phone. He had probably the best stable of lawyers and court contacts anyone has ever had.

We remain undeterred in our resolve on this issue and we will press our case in the US court of appeals for the federal circuit.

We remain confident that the (9th U.S. Circuit) Court will ultimately affirm once it has had an opportunity to review the facts and the law.

We're going to the Supreme Court, ... We are hoping to have something ready to go to the court tomorrow.

We're going to play a lot faster. You're not going to see the ball walked down the court any more.

What they've said to the court is that the industry's illegal activities are continuing to this day. And that's the most important thing because that's what they have to prove to win this case.

When we are on the court we forget that,

We would say it's a very favorable development for the state because the Supreme Court has decided to hear the matter instead of denying a hearing and remanding it the Court of Appeals, which could draw the case out potentially for years.

What I am asking is that the court use its power so that the votes of all the people of Florida that have been cast can be counted,

We go up and down the court and try to make things exciting. We play the same no matter what team we are playing. It takes people out of their rhythm and flow of their offense.

We got to where we made some better decisions as far as passes were concerned. We didn't hold the ball as much and telegraph passes. I though we had better reversal. We got out on the break a little bit better where we were able to get some better looks at the basket and not get into so many half-court sets. We do want these kids to get out and use some of their athleticism and play in the open court a little bit and I thought we did a much better job of that in the second half.

We felt it was time we received a report card from the public about how they feel about their court system so we can be guided about what to focus on in the future.

We both have a chance. It's on our home court and we know the gym.

What made this week even better for him was his defense. He has improving defensively and if he keeps improving in that area our teams is going to get better and better. He is getting his hands up better and he sees the floor a lot better. Instead of focusing on just his individual man now he is seeing the court better where he can come in help out on the help side or beat his man to a spot and that is something we work on every single day with everyone.

What's really common is that all these people are where they don't want to be. They're suing someone whom they, for some reason or another, had a good relationship with. Now the relationship is broken down so severely that all they can do is to take this person to court to try to get their attention. It just manifests itself in the form of a lawsuit.

Unless the Supreme Court now reverses the extreme position that five justices took in 2000, partly born premature infants will continue to die by having their skulls punctured by seven-inch scissors.

United certainly made a lot of cost reductions. But whether they really had a metamorphosis to compete without the help of a bankruptcy court remains to be seen.

Unfortunately, it is now obvious that no attorney appointed by the court will satisfy the defendant,

U.S. Sen. Lincoln Chafee said yesterday that, contrary to a statement from a campaign aide, he would refuse to vote for confirmation of any Supreme Court nominee who will not pledge to uphold the Roe v. Wade abortion-rights decision.

Working families need and deserve Supreme Court justices who understand and respect the importance of hard-fought rights and protections, not justices who take an unduly narrow view of the law.

We're going to confront these guys. We're taking this to the court of the streets where people think. We're taking this to the court of public opinion.

We feel the district court was wrong. Our interpretation of the law is that a water quality violation is a water quality violation and can't occur. But we're still seeing water quality violations up at Pole Mountain.

We're expecting 120 people to be brought to court this afternoon.

We're pleased with the jury and we're raring to go tomorrow morning. I think these people are going to listen and going to have an open mind. They know this is a court of law, not a court of public opinion.

We're extremely pleased. The court system worked here.

We reject the appointment of court employees to defend us.

We're just not going to comment because it is an ongoing court matter.

We're hoping juvenile court will allow us to reopen the case and get the 18-year-old to tell his story. Everyone keeps calling him a liar.

We're hopeful the high court will determine that the national ban is not only proper, but constitutional as well.

We're hopeful the court would agree with what our argument has been all along: The judges advising these individuals in court or not, reminding them either way, does not remove the fact of the law.

Throughout his years on the nation's high court, Chief Justice Rehnquist stood as a beacon of judicial restraint and reverence for the Constitution and the institution of the Supreme Court. I believe Judge Roberts will follow the lead of his mentor, and guide our nation's highest court by those same principles and devotion to the rule of law for all,

We're real excited to have the home court advantage, and that is something that will really be in our favor. We hope to have a really good crowd out there, calling the Hogs, getting it going, and seeing what this team can do.

We're ready for court. We want a trial. We've wanted to get in court for too long. There's only been one side of this being presented in any tribunal.

We knew we were going to beat Ole Miss. They came on the court talking, but we knew better.

We knew they wanted to get up and down the court and we like to get up and down the court, so we figured the team that played the best defense would win. We did a better job with that after the first quarter.

We know who's attacking us, but we pull over grandmothers so that when we go to court we can show that we're treating white women the same way. Everyone knows that's the wrong thing to do.

Ultimately, it comes down to a half-court game. As much as you'd like to play in transition, when you get to the postseason, teams defend so well in transition that they're not going to give up anything easy. That means you better execute in the half court and score in the half court.

With two more guys on the court who might review Roe and put it back where it belongs, we're seeing a light at the end of the tunnel.

With this complex issue, the devil is truly in the details. Too much of the debate has not been focused on provisions that would bar the courthouse door for many immigrants who deserve their day in court and would require that everyone in the United States who wants to work must apply for 'permission to work' from the government. Congress should not pass a bill until these misdirected provisions are addressed.
