Supreme Quotations | Page 3

I am just elated that this part is over, and I feel the U.S. Supreme Court did justice in recognizing the feelings and the needs of people who have terminal illness, to be able to use that process in a compassionate and dignified manner.

I am a sacrifice to the True Guru. Meeting Him, the supreme status is obtained.

I believe You are the imperishable, the Supreme to be realized. You are the ultimate resort of the universe.

I believe that there's no argument for saying 'no' once the Supreme Court has ruled on a decision, ... American Morning.

Certain characteristics about 'Marbury v. Madison' are, I think, indisputable. Marbury was the first Supreme Court decision ever to strike down an act of Congress as unconstitutional. Marbury stands for the authority of the Supreme Court to have and to exercise that power.

But those devotees who have faith and sincerely try to develop the above mentioned immortal virtues, and set Me as their supreme goal; are very dear to Me.

But the fact is more than 40 Supreme Court justices were nominated and confirmed to that position without prior judicial experience. But I do think she has the professional experience that will prepare her for this position

Bush may make serious attempts at reforming the tax code and social security; he's much less concerned with the risk of failure than previous presidents have been. The expected need to replace two or three Supreme Court justices, however, could so poison the water in Washington that very little will get done. (That is, unless he nominates Professor Tyson, who would be a model jurist).

Because she sat where she sat, we are now sitting in Congress, ... We are sitting in the Supreme Court. We are sitting as CEOs and heads of universities.

I have a high standard for the ethics of a Supreme Court justice, ... These were very questionable transactions, and the volume of work done on this was substantial -- in the millions of dollars.

I have been fortunate to be granted permission to sign briefs in the California Supreme Court twice in the past based on 'special expertise' in an area of law. I look forward to doing so again in the future.

If invocations are done, they have to be, according to (a 1983) Supreme Court decision, such that they do not advance any particular faith or belief. The reason being, you try and make as many people included as possible so that nobody feels that they're being left out of any particular prayer.

I can't predict the future, but I can tell you that people are very upset over the past actions of state officials, to include the governor and justices of the Supreme Court, who have chosen to blindly follow a federal court order to remove the acknowledgment of God from Alabama,

I found him to be extraordinarily intelligent, and he has assured me that he brings no ideological agenda to the Supreme Court. He wants to be a justice for all of the people.

I for one have woken up in the middle of the night thinking about it, wondering how I should vote, ... This is a vote over the chief justice of the Supreme Court ... this isn't just rolling the dice, it's betting the whole house.

Given her sparse public record, it is unclear whether she has a basic working knowledge of the issues that the Supreme Court regularly confronts.

Given her lack of (judicial) experience, does anyone doubt that Ms. Miers' only qualification to be a Supreme Court justice is her close connection to the president?

Given the governor's history of trying to pack the Supreme Court with his cronies, obviously, I would be concerned.

Given that those who died were of all races and all ethnicities and that the statue was to be symbolic of those sacrifices, ultimately a decision was made to honor no one in particular, but everyone who made the supreme sacrifice.

Given that the Court has not agreed to rehear a decision in over 50 years, this is not a huge surprise. But the denial makes it crystal clear that since the Supreme Court will not protect home and small business owners, it is now up to state legislatures and state courts to protect people from eminent domain abuse.

Four justices of the Florida State Supreme Court have distorted the judicial process into nothing more than a mechanism for providing Mr. Gore with the victory he was unable to win November 7. This ruling not only contradicts, but assaults, the most basic principles of jurisprudence,

I don't think we need political activists on the Supreme Court or any other level of court.

I don't think we should race to a conclusion here, ... Ordinarily it takes six to eight weeks to evaluate a Supreme Court nominee. We shouldn't rush to judgment.

I'd written a letter earlier to the president, suggesting that I saw a void on Western issues on the Supreme Court,

From the Bush administration's attacks on women's rights to preparing for a vacancy on the Supreme Court, NOW activists have our hands full protecting the advances we've made together over the past decades and moving forward on women's rights,

From the beginning we've said we are going to respect the rule of law. If the Supreme Court of the United States says no more votes will be counted, then that's the end of it,

From there, we will go directly to the United States Supreme Court.

For us to come in here and do what we did, it took a supreme effort.

For us to come in and do what we did today, it took a supreme effort in all three phases, and had nothing short of that today.

For way too long, the Supreme Court has been handing down decisions that people of faith cannot accept, ... Justice Sunday II: God Save the United States and this Honorable Court.

Global warming is real, it's happening now and President Bush has the legal authority to regulate the pollution that's causing it. He just doesn't want to. The Supreme Court must overturn the lower courts judicial activism and give this case a proper hearing.

If it goes as I expect it to, there will be a change in city hall. But, I think there will be an appeal to the (Alabama) Supreme Court separate from the merits of the case.

If it's upheld by the Supreme Court, it will increase our ability to serve our customers worldwide to secure e-commerce and international information,

If it were only the federal government's lawsuit, it would be clear that the Appeals Court loses jurisdiction, ... The existence of the state suit makes it significantly less clear. But if the Supreme Court wants both suits, there is little doubt in my mind that it could take both of them.

If Tim changed his mind, a petition could be filed in the U.S. Supreme Court, but that's not going to happen.

If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual (gay) sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery, ... You have the right to anything. Does that undermine the fabric of our society? I would argue yes, it does.

If the Supreme Court came out and found the Florida Supreme Court erred and we were told Vice President Gore were going to say, 'I've capitulated,' we'd probably hold back,

If the Supreme Court acknowledges that mental illness is real and literally affects the cognition of the (defendant) ... I think that will have far-reaching impact across the country.

If the state Supreme Court decides to rule in favor of gay marriage, there's a very strong shot that we in New Jersey won't have to go through the years of legislative threats that are going on in Massachusetts.

If the 9th Circuit says, 'The sky is blue,' they ( the Supreme Court ) would want to review the decision and actually say the sky is gray.

He will not be jeered. He will not be hissed. People will say good job, but we can't have you supporting our Supreme Court.

He is a resilient political figure -- down but not necessarily out -- but he's got to pitch this one, the Supreme Court nominee, right down the middle.

He has supported overturning Roe vs. Wade in the form of aconstitutional amendment to protect the unborn child. He hasarticulated a policy that is strongly pro-life. And he has said hewould appoint strict constructionists to the Supreme Court,

He felt responsible for the internment in a sort of backhanded way, because his case had been lost in the Supreme Court.

He effectively rejected the opinion of the Supreme Court.

We're preparing our case for an ultimate review by the Supreme Court of the United States,

We are extremely gratified that the Supreme Court has chosen to review this case.

Today I have described the same ancient science to you, because you are my sincere devotee and friend. Karma-yoga is a supreme secret indeed.

What you have is an alignment of cases -- of the stars, if you will -- in favor of a dramatic shift in the U.S. Supreme Court that certainly holds great promise for the preservation of life.

What you find is that the U.S. Supreme Court very seldom if ever marches very far from the conventional thinking of contemporary society. They pay attention and are infected by mainstream thinking of what's moral and what's right and what's just.

What we've learned was: You're more likely to win at the Supreme Court if you've done your homework, if you have victories in state courts. He (Gilbert) thinks he knows better and that we have somehow sold out, and I find that quite offensive.

Here is somebody at still a young age who had a very strong institutional appreciation for the role of the Supreme Court in the federal system and worried far more maturely than some of his senior counterparts of the effect on our constitutional system.

Here in the West, our word is our bond and a promise and a handshake mean something. This is President Bush's second nomination to replace a Western justice with one from the East Coast. I think we need more Western common sense and ethics on the Supreme Court, not less.

her qualifications for the Supreme Court are nonexistent.

Her Majesty is not the supreme head of the church.

For me, one of the most important issues that needs to be addressed by Judge Roberts is the constitutional right to privacy. ... It would be very difficult for me to vote to confirm someone to the Supreme Court whom I knew would overturn Roe v. Wade .

He's had this tremendous impact in changing the Supreme Court. In almost every area of constitutional law, he's left a mark, and the court's functioning very differently than it used to, and I think he's responsible for that.

The pace he was keeping up in the spring was pretty intense. It's probably not realistic to expect that level of attention to be paid forever, when you've got Supreme Court justices and lots of other things on the plate.

We lost the Supreme Court case, but we're ultimately going to win in changing the way that eminent domain is going to be used in this country.

We look forward to the supreme court ruling on the merits of the appeal.

He was one of the great failures in Supreme Court history, ... He was overwhelmed by the job and quit after just five years.

He didn't do much arguing of the case, but probably did a lot of the research. And then, for the Supreme Court, he even had his train ticket, but was told not to go. It must have been crushing.

He did commiserate with me a little bit, ... I hope that he will be able to give the United States Supreme Court's ruling some coherence, because frankly they are way out of step with what the founding fathers intended.

Handed a once-in-a-generation opportunity to return the Supreme Court to constitutionalism, George W. Bush passed over a dozen of the finest jurists of his day -- to name his personal lawyer,

We are going to rise up to overthrow the supreme governments, to overthrow corrupt officials, to throw all the rich and powerful out of this country and begin building a new Mexico with humble, simple people.

I was interested in politics very much when I was growing up, and that's what I think I really wanted to be - either a senator, or a Supreme Court Justice, and I always wanted to be a lawyer.

Judge Jackson's ruling contains no legal analysis. I thought the judge would explain why his order was consistent with precedent. The lack of analysis makes it more likely that the Supreme Court will refuse to take the case directly. Jackson issued the ruling too fast.

Judge Casey said his ruling was dictated by a 5 to 4 Supreme Court ruling in 2000, which held that Roe v. Wade protects partial-birth abortion.

I think it's a little naive to think that the state Supreme Court isn't going to at least see this as a message from the Legislature.

I think it's certainly time to pick up the speed on these lower court now that we got the Supreme Court behind us.

I think it's important to adhere to that ... if these questions come before me, either on the court on which I know sit or if I am confirmed on the Supreme Court, ... I need to decide those questions with an open mind on the basis of the arguments presented ... and the precedence of the court.

I think the patriarchal world has reigned supreme for so long that the pendulum's swinging too far the other way. It needed to be rectified, but to swing the pendulum too far the other way is almost as bad.

I think the bill is quite clearly unconstitutional. I believe the Supreme Court has already ruled dormitories can be considered domiciles.

I think the American people can see through this so clearly. The president should come forward with some middle-of-the-road person, somebody that is going to be a good Supreme Court justice, not somebody that's going to be writing the law from the bench, ... This Week.

Last month's Supreme Court ruling that federal judges are not bound by sentencing guidelines is a retreat from justice that may put the public's safety in jeopardy, ... Which of our daughters, wives and husbands -- are we willing to sacrifice to return to revolving door justice.

Lambda thinks there's a shot here at the Supreme Court. The governor appoints judges, and the governor's been very friendly to the homosexual agenda, so maybe they felt that there was a red carpet here in that regard.

I was covering the Supreme Court when it decided Gideon v. Wainright, and the case has always had special meaning for me.

I think that one could argue that these women are letting down the team. Consider a society in which the entire Supreme Court is male. We may actually experience that in our lifetime. What would it feel like if the entire Congress were male?

I think, at this point, we're going to wait to see what the outcome is at the Supreme Court.

I think this is part of a strategy to make this case as difficult as possible to get to the Supreme Court.

It is not surprising in the least that a president from Texas would nominate an SMU graduate to the Supreme Court, ... It would have been surprising for JFK.

It is not possible to arrange for any broadcast of any Supreme Court proceeding, but when you get the Cabinet meetings on the air, call me.

It is hardly possible that a person could achieve nomination for appointment to the United States Supreme Court and yet have no opinions about the significant constitutional issues and cases of our day, ... And the fact that the nominee does have such opinions and voices them will not undermine impartiality or the appearance of impartiality such that he or she would be disqualified when those issues or cases come before the court.

It is inconsistent with what the Supreme Court did.

I will be my own man on the Supreme Court, period,

I think they looked very hard at it. And I think the Supreme Court will look hard at it.

I think the United States Supreme Court has settled that pretty clearly that it's not an additional punishment.

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.

Jennifer ruled supreme under the basket tonight, which was where we called most of our plays. I thought that getting inside and clearing the boards were key.

Our guys had a great attitude every day they showed up. That's a lesson in life. Who's kidding who - I think we were 1-18 and something at one point. Who the heck is having fun in that season? But they showed up every day, they put a positive spin on everything, and they worked. And I could say with complete honesty, I don't think there was a game the second half of the season that there wasn't a supreme effort.

Our intent right now would be to move forward, ... It would be my great hope that we are given some specific advice from the U.S. Supreme Court. ... I know that they are well aware of the deadline. ... If we haven't heard anything, we would proceed as planned.

Our governor and General Assembly act the way they do because the Supreme Court said it's OK. It's time to appeal to the court of common sense.

Our position that U.S. courts have no jurisdiction over non-U.S. citizens being held in military control abroad is based on long-standing Supreme Court precedent,

Our Supreme Court seems enamored with citing foreign sources of law what happens in the European Union today is going to become the law and policy of America tomorrow.

Out of respect for the memory of Chief Justice Rehnquist and in fairness to those whose lives continue to be devastated by Katrina, the Senate should not commence a Supreme Court confirmation hearing this Tuesday. A brief postponement will not disadvantage anyone,

Our actions were lawful, however, we were repeatedly denied the chance to explain why. We were not allowed to mention Article VI, paragraph four of the Constitution, which says that the treaties of the United States are the supreme law of the land. We were not allowed to explain our actions in the context of the Nuremberg Principles, which declare that citizens can be held responsible for crimes of their government. Nor could we explain how this war was a violation of the UN Charter. The jury made a wise choice with what they had. It's unfortunate, however, that they were denied the full truth.

Right now the base is completely fractured and people are very concerned about the impact on the 2006 elections. The troubling thing is that the Supreme Court was the gold ring and the president's thinking appears indiscernible, unless you're willing to take it as a matter of faith.

Roberts' weak assurances that he brings 'no ideology' and 'no agenda' to the court are similar to assurances made previously by other Supreme Court justices. Justices Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia, Bush's proclaimed model judges, similarly promised in their hearings to bring no agenda to the court,

RIM has consistently acknowledged that Supreme Court review is granted in only a small percentage of cases and we were not banking on Supreme Court review.

Repentance is a sweet solace to conscience as well as the most complete atonement to the Supreme Judge of our offenses; notwithstanding, the tongue of malevolence and scurrility may be continually preparing its most poisonous ingredients for the punishment of a crime, which has already received more than half a pardon.
