Power Quotes

We are disappointed that the court has taken an unduly narrow view of its power and obligation to decide cases that come before it, ...

We've just gone through this period of years where the players in the game were at least written about as being a Democratic administration, establishment Republicans, and then the rabble-rousing radicals of the tea party. And it was like a three-way negotiation between them.

But I also understand the anxiety that comes from wealth and convenience.
