Legal Quotes

The Republican Party looks at massive immigration, legal and illegal, as a source of cheap labor, satisfying a very important constituency Picture Quote #1

In lieu of those checks and balances central to our legal system, non-citizens face an executive that is now investigator, prosecutor, judge, jury and jailer or executioner. In an Orwellian twist, Bush’s order calls this Soviet-style abomination ‘a full and fair trial Picture Quote #1

As any sin passes through its stages from temptation, to toleration, to approval, its name is first euphemized, then avoided, then forgotten. A colleague tells me that some of his fellow legal scholars call child molestation intergenerational intimacy: that’s euphemism. A good-hearted editor tried to talk me out of using the term sodomy: that’s avoidance. My students don’t know the word fornication at all: that’s forgetfulness Picture Quote #1

Children must be considered in a divorce considered valuable pawns in the nasty legal and financial contest that is about to ensue Picture Quote #1

Thanks to the Internet in general and social media in particular, the Chinese people now have a mechanism to hold authorities accountable for wrongdoing - at least sometimes - without any actual political or legal reforms having taken place. Major political power struggles and scandals are no longer kept within elite circles Picture Quote #1

If a president can enforce a part of a law and delay a part of a law, then does he have a power to not enforce any law he so chooses? If he can allow illegal aliens to freely run across our border, can he force legal citizens out of the country? Where would be the end of his power? Picture Quote #1

On behalf of NARAL Pro-Choice America - and our one million member activists - I am honored to be here to talk to you about what’s at stake for women in 2012. I am proud to say that the Democratic Party believes that women have the right to choose a safe, legal abortion with dignity and privacy Picture Quote #1

The principle of the Inquisition was murderous. . . . The popes were not only murderers in the great style, but they also made murder a legal basis of the Christian Church and a condition of salvation Picture Quote #1

The army is the only order of men sufficiently united to concur in the same sentiments, and powerful enough to impose them on the rest of their fellow-citizens; but the temper of soldiers, habituated at once to violence and to slavery, renders them very unfit guardians of a legal, or even a civil constitution Picture Quote #1

When I was at ‘Newsweek’ magazine - which, you know, this really sounds like I walked four miles in the snow to school - but I started at ‘Newsweek’ magazine in 1963, which was before the Civil Rights Act of 1964. So it was actually legal to discriminate against women, and ‘Newsweek’ did Picture Quote #1

Never trust a man who dresses too well or stays too clean. It ain’t natural and whatever he’s up to probably ain’t legal Picture Quote #1

Part of doing mash-ups is getting the legal rights to use the songs. If you’re going to do a mash-up with five songs, you should probably find 10 songs, because you’re only going to get half of them cleared. It’s a real collaborative effort Picture Quote #1

I worked as a lawyer; as a member of the teaching staff of a technical college; and then I worked principally as legal adviser to Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist German Workers Party Picture Quote #1

I think the key to getting rid of illegal immigration, no matter where its coming from, is that you need to have a good legal apparatus for immigration Picture Quote #1

Law is not a trade, not briefs, not merchandise, and so the heaven of commercial competition should not vulgarize the legal profession Picture Quote #1

Our laws are like the software that runs our country. All the laws for a country, together, are called its legal code, just like computer software is written using code Picture Quote #1

There’s a misconception about Barack Obama as a former constitutional law professor. First of all, there are plenty of professors who are ‘legal relativists.’ They tend to view legal principles as relative to whatever they’re trying to achieve Picture Quote #1

I don’t think any business has to give up legal protections in order to simplify. The main consideration is that whatever protection, rights and remedies a corporation wants, they should be put in terms that are understandable to the consumer Picture Quote #1

Like the marriage contract you entered into, your divorce is a legal transaction. Treat it that way. Try not to let emotion, hurt, fear or anger dictate the circumstances of your discussions or negotiations Picture Quote #1

The real violence is committed in the writing of history, the records of the legal system, the reporting of news, through the manipulation of social contracts, and the control of information Picture Quote #1

Taiwan gives a lot of foreign aid to Costa Rica, so it looks like they are basically buying the right to fish, even though it’s not legal Picture Quote #1

I’m a child of immigrants. That is the history of this country. Immigration is good and important for our country. Legal immigration needs to really be modernized Picture Quote #1

It is not the role of Congress to decide legal cases between private parties. That is why we have courts Picture Quote #1

We’ve got fifty people at Gitmo that are too dangerous to be let go that will never go through a normal criminal trial. Let’s create a new legal system, so they’ll have their day in court Picture Quote #1

My job is to interpret the law based on how the legislature and the court has done it and then, of course, to use our system of justice to develop some new legal tools and new concepts Picture Quote #1

Every generation gets the Constitution that it deserves. As the central preoccupations of an era make their way into the legal system, the Supreme Court eventually weighs in, and nine lawyers in robes become oracles of our national identity Picture Quote #1

I’ve always considered making it legal for Americans to import their prescription drugs a free-trade issue. Imports create competition and keep domestic industry more responsive to consumers Picture Quote #1

Everywhere among the English-speaking race criminal justice was rude, and punishments were barbarous; but the tendency was to do away with special privileges and legal exemptions Picture Quote #1

My work is heavily influenced by critiques that many critical intellectual traditions, especially Critical Race Theory, have made of reform projects focused on legal equality Picture Quote #1

In America, to be ID’d - sorted, tagged, and permanently filed - is to lose a bit of one’s soul. To die a little. This sounds like a subtle, poetic notion. It’s not. In American legal and cultural tradition, one essential privilege of citizenship is not having to prove it on demand Picture Quote #1
