Bet Quotes
Would any of his aides have the nerve to tell him that as Supreme Court jurists go, Gonzales would be mediocre - and not a solid bet to move the court in a constitutionalist direction? Would any of them have the nerve to explain to the president that a Gonzales nomination would utterly demoralize many of his supporters, who are sticking with him and his party, through troubles in Iraq and screw-ups with Hurricane Katrina, precisely because they want a few important things out of a Bush presidency - and one of these is a more conservative court?

Against Quotes
We have to have all five players on the court and be aware of where she is. She can get shots in a variety of ways, and everybody has to be aware of her presence. The biggest thing we need to do against her is get to her before she has the basketball. If you prevent her from getting the basketball you can get under her skin and limit her production.

Against Quotes
We have to get our game onto the court and not play into their hands. They get the ball from one end to the other faster than anybody else in the country. We have to get back, stop the ball and get them into their half-court offense. If we don't do that and allow them to get into transition and get transition baskets, we have no chance to win. If we do stop them, that's the key. We have to get the long rebounds which cost us against Houston.

Against Quotes
We are hopeful that the Supreme Court will agree that Tennessee cannot discriminate against people because of their point of view. If the state is going to give some people the opportunity to express their opinions on their license plates, it must allow people with opposing viewpoints the same opportunity.

Companies Quotes
There are some sorts of things that individual companies or individuals can't handle, like national defense or the court system, or whatever. That's why we have the Sherman Antitrust and monopoly laws on the books, because the government has to step in when a company is not operating under market discipline.

Arguing Quotes
The only way to get an FOI request honored these days is to go to court. We can go to court and win, but some regular person is not going to know how to file a complaint in federal court and prepare a brief arguing that the administration is in violation of the law. And no one has endless resources to fight every denial. It's very effective, what they've done. They keep the information hidden.

Break Quotes
We're a team of runs and it's hard not to have a letdown after a start like that. We lost a little in the second half and got tentative and stood around. We want to make teams pay in the half court by getting quality looks. We need these situations to experience what it takes to score when we're not getting out on the break or hitting all our shots.

Bit Quotes
Yesterday I was on the court with Roger Federer, so I can bring something like that or a conversation I had with him to this clinic. I communicate that to players here in Montana and then they're a little bit closer to the top of the game and what big time players are thinking about what it takes to become a better tennis player.

Clear Quotes
The court views it as unfortunate for Secretary Rubin that he has been tarnished with this contempt citation, ... What personal involvement he has had in this fiasco is unknown to this court, but what is clear is that he has totally delegated his responsibility to others and they have miserably failed to comply with this court's orders.
-
Analysis Quotes
There are a lot of federal district court judges who would not have given these issues the kind of careful research, thought and analysis that Sessions did. He moves very deliberately and very carefully, which means that it less likely that an appellate court is going to find that Sessions made a mistake.

Best Quotes
The profession is designed to help the court by making sure that the best possible arguments - not misleading arguments, not arguments that stretch a point, not arguments that hide precedents - but that the best possible arguments are presented, ... That's the business we're in. It's very much like if you were a doctor. Do you only cure people who, when they're cured, will lead their lives as you were going to lead them?

Against Quotes
We regret that the government turned a deaf ear to the many calls for the release of this respected journalist. At least, after 15 months of detention, Zhao is going to be able to defend himself in court against the baseless charges brought against him by the Chinese authorities. We hope, at the very least, that the trial will be fair and that foreign observers and the press will be able to attend.
