Remember, it's the judge who decides the sentence.

pleased that the judge ruled in favor of the government in four out of five claims.

Really, when all is over and done with, people will judge a quarterback by wins and losses. That's the best criteria you can have. Sure, we want him to improve his completion percentage. We'd like for him to complete every pass he throws, but you have to be realistic. This offense develops, for many young players, from the inside out. We're moving along at just the right pace.

President Bush has nominated Roberts to become the most powerful judge on the nation's highest court. The public has a right to see documents that will give us more information about his judicial philosophy. If the White House continues to stall, then it begs the question, 'What is the president hiding, and why?' ... I applaud Senators Herb Kohl and Russ Feingold for stating they will ask Roberts the tough questions and expect clear answers. We are urging Wisconsinites who value freedom and privacy to call their senators and urge them to oppose Roberts' nomination.

Our office of general council will work with the judge to determine how FEMA will respond to the ruling.

People may see this and judge without really knowing the stuff he's gone through the last few years. My wife and I went to see him and his family after his son died. He was very quiet. At a time like that, all you can do as a friend is just be there.

People judge you on whether you won or lost the last game. I think that's why he will play small ball in the coming year.

People judge gays before they meet them. They're really good, as you can see.

People on either extreme would not be thrilled. But the vast majority would be extremely pleased if the president could find another Judge Roberts out there. Somebody of superb and unquestioned legal qualifications, devoted more to the law than promoting a particular agenda.

Such a prostitution of judicial power can never occur again under the shadow of the British law, for no jury within the wide circle of the empire would submit to such an infraction of their privilege, even if a judge could be found daring enough to attempt it.

Sure, it would be nice to have sectional crowns, but realistically we are honest about playing Homestead. Obviously, the other teams in our sectional face the same situation as we do, so we judge ourselves on how we do against other teams, not Homestead.

Statistically, it's hard to judge on numbers as low as 100 from year to year. A better yardstick is the overall number of claims that were investigated.

State and local regulators are the officials with the closest contact with the regulated community, ... Given their close intimate knowledge of the business they regulate, they are in a much better position than Congress to judge whether a particular small business is deserving of leniency for a first-time violation.

Some of these bathrooms defy description, ... There's no way to go into a judge and a jury and describe what you're seeing.

Some of them make the best drivers we've got because they're dependable. You have to judge by the individual. Every person is different. Just because they're 70, it doesn't mean they're not capable of driving.

Someone, either a judge or a jury, must determine beyond a reasonable doubt that government has proven an aggravating factor beyond guilt.

That crossed my mind. I was very fortunate that I ran across some people that didn't judge the job I can do managing just on the result of one decision.

My own view is this, I've got to get my own house in order, ... I am not here to judge others. I did not have a problem with state and local officials.

My wife's in judge of me, Murdered in cold blood is what I'm gonna be, I ain't been home since Friday night, And now my wife Is comin' after me

My personal discussions with Judge Roberts, as well as his responses during the Judiciary Committee hearings, have convinced me that he respects precedents and will apply the law and Constitution fairly,

My meeting with Judge Roberts today only furthered my high opinion of him and my confidence in his ability to serve as chief justice of the Supreme Court, ... This is a man of high moral character and sound legal judgment, who has a profound respect for the Constitution and the role he is ready to assume.

My manager, Norma, was trying to get me to write it for at least 10 years and being the reclusive person I am, I wanted people to judge me for what they saw on the television, on the films or on the stage. And what I did apart from that was my own affair. So to write my autobiography was, to me, an anathema.

Like Justice Thomas during his confirmation hearing, Judge Roberts said there is a right to privacy and it applies to the marital relationship and the use of contraceptives, but he refused to say how much further its protections would go.

I was very conscious of (players') minutes and in the end I was very conscious of health. Today is not a good barometer to judge us.

I was heart broke that the judge could discount the lives of my brother's family, especially that little girl. I think judge Counts will have the blood of somebody else on his hands.

It felt good to finally get the chance to play and show what I can do. If I had to judge myself, I?d say it was fair, but around here, you never know.

I think people understand that these are training matches and that in the USA we fielded a domestic league team. It is in the autumn European qualifier that people will judge me.

I think prosecutors and the judge are going to see the case as a perfect vehicle to send a message that this sort of conduct, whatever the motives, just won?t be tolerated. And I think that push is going to be more powerful than any argument that they get a lot of leniency because of their age or anything else.

It doesn't really matter whether I was happy or not. The judge made a decision, and you live with it.

It doesn't mean (Selig) shouldn't investigate, but it's going to be a very difficult position for him. If people suggest that he could use the 'best interest of baseball' clause to suspend Bonds, I think it would take the union about three minutes before a federal judge to get that enjoined.

I think from the beginning it was clear what the judge intended.

It definitely played a lot more difficult today. You had holes where you were hitting two to three clubs more on the par-3s or two to three clubs less on the downwind holes and it was really hard to judge the wind because it was real gusty.

is to make sure that my colleagues do not misrepresent Judge Roberts' views to the American people.

is to have a dignified hearing which will give insights into Judge Roberts' jurisprudence, and to get an idea of his thinking on questions like respect for precedent ... and his views on congressional authority.

I think Judge Judy is, like Oprah, sort of the star of her genre. She lays it on the line and she doesn't let you get away with anything. ... She stands out as an ethical voice that speaks to the common man.

I think Judge Judy is, like Oprah, sort of the star of her genre.

I thought it was one of the funniest things I ever saw. The locker room is like a fraternity. The outside world can't really judge that.

Jumping the last, I thought I might stay on to be fourth. I knew we would get closer but I didn't think we were going to get there and I only thought we had won when the judge called No.10.

Justice was finally done. As we said in the appeal, Judge Owen was too vested in seeing Frank convicted.

Judge Webster's proven integrity and long record of accomplishment would have served the American people well, as it has time and time again, ... I continue to believe that investors would have benefited from Judge Webster's dedication to the best interest of the American people.

Judge Webster and anyone he selects to assist him will have complete access and whatever resources are necessary to complete the task, ... He will report directly to the attorney general and I, and we will share his report with the National Security Council and the Congress. I intend to act swiftly on any of his recommendations.

Judge Velasquez engenders strong feelings both pro and con. There are a lot of people who love him and a lot of people who hate him.

Judge Todd Walton was instrumental in getting this program started. All home environments are not like yours and mine. Some children grow up in homes that are worse than horror stories.

Judge the goodness of a book by the energy of the punches it has given you. . . I believe the greatest characteristic of genius, is, above all, force.

Judge Spencer's guidance last Friday was very helpful.

Judge Spencer is a very fair, no-nonsense guy, and he knows RIM would like to drag this on and on. Whatever he decides, he's going to decide quickly.

Judge Sidney Stein ruled against our office, but we will appeal.

Judge Roberts ... will seek to assure the American people that he will be fair and open-minded, that he understands what his role is as a judge in our system of government: not to legislate, not to execute laws but to apply the law.

Judge Roberts will listen to the arguments from those challenging it and those seeking to uphold it and make a decision not based on politics but the rule of law,

Judge Roberts, the legal automaton, as opposed to Judge Roberts, the man.

Judge Roberts should explain as soon as possible why he thought it was appropriate for him to continue hearing this case,

Judge Roberts moved NTP and Research in Motion closer to a settlement, and that's what investors were hoping for all along. NTP thinks past and future royalties may be as much as $1 billion, but our view is they could provide a discount to get the deal done, get the cash up front, and avoid a reexamination of the patents.

Judge Roberts, in your confirmation hearing for the circuit court, your testimony read to this effect, and it's been widely quoted: Roe is the settled law of the land. Do you mean settled for you, settled only for your capacity as a circuit judge, or settled beyond that?

Judge Roberts, I'm not talking about an issue. I'm talking about the essence of jurisprudence.

Judge Roberts has projected a very unique persona as he has talked about modesty and humility,

It is difficult to judge altitude, looking straight down, ... So I lowered him based on his hand signals, which is what we are taught to do.

I'm still waiting for a judge or anyone to show me anywhere in the Constitution where there's a separation of church and state. We didn't lose; we were robbed.

Meles is not the judge in this case.

We note that the judge has explicitly said that, irrespective of any intellectual property, database, or other rights, BHB has, in the data, a valuable commodity for which it is entitled to charge.

The $4.5 billion punitive damages ordered by Judge H. Russell Holland is not a debt that is owed. Rather, they represent a windfall well in excess of the amount the jury found necessary to compensate the plaintiffs for their losses.

The appeals court has twice overturned the judge in this case, so I think investors are optimistic that this case could be significantly modified or overturned on appeal.

The answer is no. The judge has no moral responsibility for the laws that his community enacts.

That was a statement that I made at a prior period of time when I was performing a different role and, as I said yesterday, when someone becomes a judge you really have to put aside the things you did as a lawyer at prior points in your legal career.

That will allow everybody to judge whether prices have come down or not.

That was a real drag. I think he really went way over what he as a judge is entitled to say.

I was quite surprised at the harshness of the probation department's recommendation. Judge Davila going over and above that shocks me even more.

I wasn't in any position. My goodness, they had all the right in the world to judge me -- they had no idea who I was.

I was never a glamour puss whose career was really based on a look or an attitude. I've been basically playing the same parts I am at 55 that I was at 35. I get cast as strong women, and that can be a mother or a judge or anything.

I would judge that list of people as overall a very appropriate selection. There is balance in terms of skills and attributes and markets and legal expertise, and it augurs well for the management of the fund.

I would like to see where I stand as a player and realistically judge my ability in relation to the NBA draft.

I would like to announce that I have asked Judge to be my candidate for lieutenant governor.

I would much rather be me right now than a judge who said 61 percent of the voters were wrong again.

My bottom line is the crime rate going down, ... I judge this office's effectiveness by that statistic.

Microsoft only started mentioning intellectual property rights once it was clear it would lose the case two years ago. It's an after-the-facts strategy and I hope the judge will see it for what it is.

Whoever wants to be a judge of human nature should study people's excuses

We judge ourselves on defense, not how we shoot the ball.

We judge off those criteria. It's not like we sit there with an open mind. We use those tools to judge so we can explain why one rider was better than the other.

We do not believe that unions have the right to strike if the judge imposes terms.

Without a doubt we have been handed as extreme a challenge of rebuilding on the Gulf Coast as imaginable. But Mississippi is a great state with great people, and already we're welcoming golf, gaming and other tourists to the rest of the state. This will help the state and the state in turn will be better equipped to help the Gulf Coast and its residents affected by Katrina the more visitors we host. So the best thing we can and will do is to keep keeping on. We want visitors to come see why Mississippi is a special place and judge for themselves why Mississippi is considered a rising star of the golf-and-gaming world.

We're certainly going to judge the feasibility on our end before we make a recommendation on anything.

We're always happy to be highly placed by any ranking, and we are very proud of our academic programs. But we always question whether rankings alone are enough for anyone to judge the quality of an institution.

Well, were our own prisons. We each our own wardens & we do our own times. We get stuck in our own little trips & we kind a judge ourselves the way we do.

See, what other people do is not really my affair, unless they approach me with it, & want me to do something about it, uh, then Ill uh take into consideration what has to be done. But other than that I just uh, try to do my number, & do my time.

We must use a judicial, rather than a political, standard to evaluate Judge Roberts' fitness for the Supreme Court. That standard must be based on the fundamental principle that judges interpret and apply but do not make law.
