• We call on the Senate to reject any judicial nominee who does not affirm fundamental civil rights, including a woman's right [to obtain an abortion on demand]. The threat an [pro-life] judiciary poses to women's lives demands nothing less.

• When, after having examined in detail the organization of the Supreme Court, one comes to consider in sum the prerogatives that have been given it, one discovers without difficulty that a more immense judicial power has never been constituted in any people.

• Convergence of technology and the judicial system is the need-of-the-hour. We need to go digital and adopt online analysis of legal cases. Dissemination of legal knowledge to the common man will also a go a long way in improving the law and order situation in the country.

• No puede haber mejor instrucción... que la de que todo hombre que deba tratar con su prójimo siga estos mandamientos. 'Todo lo que queráis que los demás hagan con vosotros, así también haced vosotros con ellos', y 'Ama a tu prójimo como a ti mismo'. Si siempre se siguieran estos mandamientos, todo se instruiría y arreglaría por sí mismo; entonces no se necesitarían libros de leyes, ni tribunales, ni acciones judiciales. Todo se arreglaría tranquila y sencillamente, pues el corazón y la conciencia de cada uno le guiarían.

• How do you get from, "We do not know whether this is protectable human life," to "Therefore, we will not protect it?" Wouldn't the logic just as likely (some would say far more likely) be, "Since we do not know whether this is protectable human life, therefore we will protect it?" Why does the judicial uncertainty about the humanity of the unborn lead to unbridled license to destroy it?

• La dignidad y estabilidad del gobierno en todas sus ramas, la moral del pueblo y todas las bendiciones de la sociedad dependen tanto de una recta y hábil administración de la justicia, que el poder judicial debe ser distinto del legislativo y del ejecutivo, e independiente de ambos, para que pueda ser un control de ambos, como ambos deben ser controles de aquél.

• Se plantea la cuestión de si todos los poderes de gobierno, legislativo, ejecutivo y judicial, deben dejarse en este órgano. Creo que un pueblo no puede ser libre por mucho tiempo, ni feliz jamás, cuyo gobierno esté en una sola Asamblea.

• Cuando los jueces se apoderan de la autoridad de las otras ramas del gobierno federal, así como de los gobiernos estatales y locales, bajo la rúbrica de la revisión judicial, eso es tiranía.

• To be true to its constitutional role, the Supreme Court should refuse to be drawn into making public policy, and it should strike down legislation only when a clear constitutional violation exists. When judicial activists resort to various inventions and theories to impose their personal views on privacy and liberty, they jeopardize the legitimacy of the judiciary as an institution and undermine the role of the other branches of government.

• To the somnambulist, sleep-walking may seem more pleasant and less hazardous than wakeful walking, but the latter is the wiser mode of locomotion in the congested traffic of a modern community. It is about time to abandon judicial somnambulism.

• I was in the most restricted prison in China, the most tough. The design of the prison is modeled for internal crimes of the Communist party, so it's like a mafia family's law. It's independent to the law this nation openly applies. It's the place they take you before they give you over to the judicial system. You stay there for a year or two and they make you really suffer to confess everything.

• Chávez inherited a dysfunctional judicial system and more or less regional (that is to say: bad) crime rates. He leaves an anarchic judicial system and horrendous crime rates. He neglected, bungled, and politicized policing, the courts and the jails.

• How Obama approaches judicial selection - and how Republicans respond - now becomes an important story and will remain so until the Senate shuts down judicial confirmations, probably in the summer of 2016 if Senate custom in presidential-election years is followed.

• Si, entonces, los tribunales de justicia deben ser considerados como los baluartes de una Constitución limitada contra las invasiones legislativas, esta consideración proporcionará un fuerte argumento para la permanencia de los cargos judiciales, ya que nada contribuirá tanto como esto a ese espíritu independiente en los jueces que debe ser esencial para el fiel desempeño de un deber tan arduo.

• Marriage is not defined in the federal Constitution at all; it's a matter for the states. And applying the Fourteenth Amendment to the equality of men and women and their relationship in marriage is totally different than redefining marriage. Here is the overreach of the judiciary. This, if allowed to stand without any congressional approval, without any kind of enabling legislation, is what Jefferson warned us about. That's judicial tyranny.
