Judge Quotations | Page 13

It's kind of hard to judge when the team's doing so poorly. I just assume that I have to play better. I plan on doing that. We're on a skid here, but I still think we have a pretty good team. We can get out of it.

It's like appointing the accuser as the prosecutor, judge and jury.

It's like basketball players being told not to use their arms. Right now all the judge did is he put up a wall. I don't know how they can function with this. I don't know who they're going to turn to because these people are not qualified to do what they're doing and now they lost their support systems.

It's almost like a trust that we are bound to preserve the institution and give it to our successors in the same good condition that we received it.

It's not typically possible in your Craftsman bungalow to do that. It's a big headache for a judge -- a bigger headache than the advantage to the defense would seem to justify.

It's not my place to judge him. I'm sure it's difficult enough. This is a conversation that I'm not going to say much about.

It means nothing. All these cases are different. It's a different indictment, a different judge even. It just happens to be the same bagman.

I told you not to judge a book by its cover.

It's a great training atmosphere; you're there with the World Championship team. So to come in there and train with them and kind of see where they're at and judge yourself on what you see them do, that was not just an experience, but kind of an eye-opener.

As seniors, we're not going to judge our whole career off one game. We had pretty good careers.

As we approach the hearings, rather than feel confident that we will hear candid answers to critical questions about judicial philosophy, I am concerned that the stage is being set for Judge Roberts to refuse to answer,

Economists have their own tools to judge how far a dollar goes coming in from a tourist, a skier or a rafter. They can find how long it stays in the county. What this study shows is that we are a significant multiplier.

It's not good policy and not good politics to go against the will of the voters, and going to a judge will help us make sure that doesn't occur.

Eight years of follow-up is too short a time to show an effect. Let's wait for 15 to 30 years of follow-up before we judge significance.

That's one of the reasons why we have him in therapy. That's the million-dollar question a judge is going to ask.

That's a common practice for an independent counsel. Judge Walsh was talking to reporters all the time over a seven-year period. And I think it's entirely appropriate so long as he abides by the general guidelines of the Department of Justice, which it appears he has.

That request is still active with the court and the ball is now in the judge's -- well, that's kind of a bad metaphor -- but the judge has the responsibility to make a decision.

That involves an application to a magistrate or a judge and it is subject to all of the provisions and all of the safeguards that are contained in the legislation,

Arsene Wenger is just an unbelievable manager. I think he's a tremendous person, and he is just as good as there is. You can't judge a manager on one game or on one stretch of games. You judge him over time.

As a matter of fact, I don't think the case will be difficult for a judge, because the judge really is an arbiter and makes decisions of law.

This petition asks Missourians to peg Missouri constitutional law to what some federal judge in San Francisco or New York says it is, ... I'm stunned that they would include such a wide-open and obvious flaw.

You Can't Judge a Book by Its Cover.

You can't judge a goaltender by one bad goal.

You can't judge a good start by the result. I don't think, tonight, that we got a good start. We didn't play the way we're supposed to.

You can't judge a season just by what happened (Wednesday). Everything considered, I think the kids here have had a great season. It's not the end of the world. They're a little bit down right now, but we're just glad to have them here and hope they can learn from this experience.

You can't judge a wrestler based on two weeks ago. That was a long time ago. He'll be stronger and better, just like I will. Just because I beat him, I can't and won't take him lightly.

You can't judge off one game. It matters what you do all year. People will keep saying stuff, but we know we belong in the tournament, and we're just going to show people.

There was certainly a question when Judge Thomas was nominated. He hadn't written a lot of legal opinions. But people chose not to take on Thomas on those grounds.

The young people I know judge leaders by their deeds and abhor hypocrisy. Inconsistency and point-scoring do not win respect. It's not easy to be engaged in political debate when it is reduced to performers trying to outdo each other. Actions from leaders must mirror the values they claim to espouse.

They know all our plays, so when we do things it might not look that bad in a game, so you just don't know. And we know their plays, so we pick up some of their blitzes that another team might not pick up. It's hard to judge right now.

They had no choice. If they didn't agree to it, a bankruptcy judge would impose it. It's in management's best interest - and the pilots - to have everyone agree to the cuts so they don't have morale problems.

It's fair to judge people on how many turnovers they have, but there's so many other things, too. No. 1 is make sure the other guy doesn't catch the ball.

It's fabulous, ... Clearly the judge recognized it was profoundly undemocratic to gag a librarian from participating in the Patriot Act debate.

There's a black could hanging over the entire project. Everyone continues this process with the huge risk now attached that a judge could strike the whole thing down.

There's a certain amount of skepticism that's natural. You just have to judge the particular person you're taking to.

There seems to be no way to quench people's thirst for online video programming.

There's every indication that she's very similar to Judge Roberts judicial restraint, limited role of the court, basically a judicial conservative.

It's exceeded in intensity, in interest, in just every way that you can ---- criteria that you can use to judge something, it has been really successful.

It seems like I always have to take matters into my own hands and be my own judge and jury, and that's my right and my left hand,

You can, if you wish, think of it like the universe: Each case is a sun, and all the judges, lawyers and administrative personnel represent planets revolving around the case in fixed orbit, never getting closer.

You can impeach a federal judge in this country for the failure to demonstrate good behavior during his tenure. I don't think we want to apply that standard to the future of the presidency. So the standard for evicting, convicting, evicting him from the White House is a very high standard indeed.

You have to wait and see how Judge Roberts answers questions.

You have to wait and see how Judge Roberts answers questions, ... He has to tell us who he is, judicially speaking. Americans overwhelmingly want to know his views.

You have to judge him against his peers in the game. He hasn't been banished from the game like Rose, and his accomplishments on the field stand for themselves.

We trust in the continued good efforts of the Department of Justice and Judge Jackson to determine a fair way to separate the Windows operating system from Microsoft's other businesses,

What that means is that Judge Roberts is guaranteed an up or down vote and he is also guaranteed to be the next chief justice of the Supreme Court.

What's going to happen is that county council and the county executive will be able to blame the judge. I think that's what's going to happen -- they want to blame the judge for reassessment. That's not leadership, that's hiding,

We have to file a motion with the court. Because no else is petitioning guardianship for him. It could be as simple as a judge saying, 'yes' or 'no'. But, then again, we could get involved in a long, drawn-out case.

We are very concerned at the accusations against them and the harsh sentence proposed. The circumstances of their arrest are very confused and do not clearly establish their guilt. The legal authorities must make every effort to determine the origin of the firebombs, the only evidence against them. The judge has hastily declared the matter secret and is blocking all openness.

We certainly were given an impression (during my last visit in June) that the arrest of general Mladic was imminent and it did not happen, so we have to judge the Serb government on its actions,

We don't think the judge will impose new conditions on us. I think the judge sees things getting closer. It's possible bargaining could go on for another week.

We expected the judge to rule this way. This is exactly what we were looking for.

We expect the company to react negatively if the judge finds in their favor. What form that takes, we don't know.

We're going to ask the judge to clarify whose money it is and if it's ours, get it back.

It was obtained from a magistrate at seven o'clock at night, ... It didn't even go to the federal judge that understands the case, and it was obtained to arrest Elian as an illegal alien ... that's just a lie.

I try to get as many kids focused for the states as I can, and that's how I judge how I'm doing as a coach. To me, that's a better measurement of how I'm doing with the talent I'm given, how many players get medals. If all these kids step up and do what they're supposed to do, we'll be OK.

I trust the people to be the best judge of conduct of a campaign when they exercise their franchise to vote, ... I am confident that they will reject candidates that use appeals to negative prejudices against any group of people.

It is very early to tell. There are three teams out there. It is very choppy hockey. It is tough to really judge a lot of what is going on out there.

I told my class the other day I have no idea what judicial activism is, ... Maybe the best definition of a judicial activist is a judge you don't like.

It's a family film. And it has a lot of messages like don't judge a book by its cover. But it's also funny, so you also learn something.

It's against the Justice Department's interest to have Judge Jackson make an immediate remedy decision because that increases the odds that he would be reversed on appeal. There is a fair chance that experts who have already submitted affidavits in the case will be called as witnesses and there will be a mini-trial that revolves around remedies.

It is still too early to judge whether the froth will become evident on a widening geographic scale or whether recent indications of some easing of speculative pressures signal the onset of a moderating trend,

It's a bit woolly. We'll judge it by what happens, but when I see words like 'should' and 'consider' I fear it will be left on the shelf.

It's actually kind of a recent idea that in order to judge a nominee, you had to have tons and tons of paper, ... For most of history it was, you know, someone's nominated, probably a friend of the president ... You had hearings, and in the hearings you asked some questions, and the questions gave you the answers, and that was it. No one asked about how you were going to rule in Roe v. Wade, how you were going to rule in Miranda, whatever.

It's awfully hard to read the tea leaves this time. But the harder I've thought about this, the more I come back to Judge Gonzales as the most likely choice. I'm not terribly confident in that prediction but it's the one I've decided I'm making.

It saves tax dollars, and obviously these are people who are not a threat to the community, otherwise the judge would not have given them bail.

It was a typical A-Day game. You can't judge our team by that.

It was a very serious and highly unusual legal motion, but something we felt was absolutely necessary, and we are pleased that the judge has recognized our position.

It's a distinct kicking motion. It was kicked in, and I'm sure we'll get an apology from the league on it. We've had reviews that lasted five minutes. That took two seconds and the guy kicked it in? Come on, I don't understand how a video judge here can make that type of call when it's that distinct.

It's a great battle, and it really is a battle, and there are people from all walks of life, you know, never judge anybody at the table: A man can be the greatest poker player and he might know all the numbers, but he might get beaten by a really savvy kid who works in a grocery store; and that's what's so great about this game.

This weekend is about finding out who is playing well and who has come out of the off-season ready to compete. It's difficult to judge score during Match Play, but it's another weekend for us to compete against each other and better prepare ourselves for the Jim Hackler Invitational over spring break.

This vote today in committee means that Judge Roberts will be voted on on the Senate floor next week, possibly on Thursday, and he is all but certain to be approved by a majority larger than 60 votes,

This was a case where the evidence didn't support any claims, and the judge after hearing it agreed. We're pretty happy.

We cannot attend any trial session unless the chief judge resigns because he holds a personal grudge against my client.

We cannot lightly allow the perpetrator of a serious crime to go free simply because that person believed his actions were reasonable and necessary to prevent some perceived harm.

This was tough. They did a nice job with their defense, but we've got to do a better job of getting points. It's hard to judge whether that was us or them.

It's hard to tell. They're talking three or four months but it does depend a lot how it reacts to the pin. It can be a lot shorter but it can be longer than that. It's just something they judge as it goes.

It's easy to sit up there and judge and say, what if we did this or that. What I came away with as being encouraging ... was we had a lot of guys step up and play big in the big games.

It's like trying to judge a book from its cover.

It's hard to judge a match before it happens. It could be two kids I've never seen before, and they're going to put on a tremendous fight. Or one might be better.

It's hard to judge anybody probably from Reagan on. It's probably hard to judge even Carter, although we're moving in that direction. I would say within the last 25 years (is difficult) in particular, because events that affected those individuals are still playing out.

It's hard to judge anything on one night. But it wasn't a positive.

It's hard to judge. If we win we're probably going to say yes. It's hard to judge that. Getting to take a break from conference could be a good thing for us.

It's hard to judge just yet how well Oracle has done this without taking a closer look, but at least it suggests that they understand the problem.

It's hard to judge people after one game. You have to be ready for more surprises the second game. I think we can hold them to an acceptable number of points. Our offense has to get going.

It's hard to judge your game without looking at the film. I thought I competed. That's what I wanted to do.

It's basically good for the government that they get a quick hearing. Judge Jackson will make a quick decision. He hasn't messed around with this case.

It's a very ill-conceived lawsuit. I think the judge obviously sees that.

It's hard to really judge (the Spurs) because I don't think we gave them much of a challenge. They played their game and beat us. And that's all there was to it.

It's going to be very difficult to judge my performance against the others in the series. I want to score some points this year. That would be a huge success.

There is such a term, called 'judge baiting' -- baiting the judge into losing her cool and her temper. I don't know that they (Merck's lawyers) sit around and think that, but anything is possible.

There is such a term, called 'judge baiting' baiting the judge into losing her cool and her temper. I don't know that they (Merck's lawyers) sit around and think that, but anything is possible.

There's a huge media coverage and it has an impact, and the judge has to live with that.

There were over 300 people at the wedding, more than 20 years ago. It's ridiculous to think that Judge Kaplan or her husband knew everyone at the wedding.

This is the right decision, and the judge should be commended.

They're a pretty big law firm, I guess, but I took them and I won. Every time the judge asked me a question, I had the answer.

This is a victory for children and parents all across the country. Chief Judge Friedman's decision validates our partnership with states to close the achievement gap, hold schools accountable and to ensure all students are reading and doing math at grade-level by 2014.

This judge, believe me, does not want to go down in history as the judge who adjudicated the termination of the Delphi union contract and brought down General Motors.

This judge is not inclined to delay based on how he has handled the case in the past.

They're going to try to make an argument that simply cutting wages, slashing benefits, etc., is not the only way to go. Whether the bankruptcy judge buys that remains an open question.
