And here are some shameful ones:
"Robert Bork's America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens' doors in midnight raids, schoolchildren could not be taught about evolution, writers and artists would be censored at the whim of government, and the doors of the federal courts would be shut on the fingers of millions of citizens for whom the judiciary is often the only protector of the individual rights that are the heart of our democracy."
"America is a better and freer nation than Robert Bork thinks. Yet in the current delicate balance of the Supreme Court, his rigid ideology will tip the scales of justice against the kind of country America is and ought to be."
"The damage that President Reagan will do through this nomination, if it is not rejected by the Senate, could live on far beyond the end of his presidential term. President Reagan is still our President. But he should not be able to reach out from the muck of Irangate, reach into the muck of Watergate, and impose his reactionary vision of the Constitution on the Supreme Court and on the next generation of Americans. NO justice would be better than this 'INjustice.'"
good ol teddy sure knew how to reach across the aisle.
sorry POS
...another hypocrisy-laden Teddyism, shouted out upon the floor of the Senate during the watergate fiasco, a short four years after allowing Mary Jo Kopechne to die like a bilge rat in his submerged Olds 88:
“Do we operate under a system of equal justice under law? Or is there one system for the average citizen and another for the high and mighty?”
