Harold Greene Quotations

I would hate my obituary to say Judge Harold H. Greene broke up AT&T and that's all he ever did and then he rested.

I am seeking simply to legitimize judicial activism when I say that the repeated attempts to foreclose the courts' consideration of matter which they have historically considered are ill-advised and dangerous to our way of life.

The AT&T case may have biased me with antitrust issues but the issue of allowing a monopoly to have a stranglehold on information is still a concern.

We can't let a huge corporation do whatever they want - it needs to be approved.

With all due respect to the distinguished military records of Adm. Poindexter, Col. North, and the others, they have no standing in a democratic society to invalidate the decisions made by elected officials.

Antitrust decrees are not written unlike leases for apartments, on a month-to-month basis. They are written for a long, long time, typically, particularly a big decree like this.

I like to deal with interesting, difficult legal questions. I do not want people to think that the only thing I have ever done is the AT&T case because I do other things.

I don't think about it too much. Too many people are concerned with what they were in Europe, before they came to the United States.

I do remember sitting in the Senate Gallery on the day the filibuster was broken. I remember feeling that I was witness to a very significant event.

The emphasis on getting business and billing goes far beyond the professionalism of law and does the profession injustice.
