Judge Quotations | Page 4

I'm a huge fan of Neil Young, and those great albums of his sound so alive. Many CDs today sound perfect, quite boring. I wanted to have that life in the songs. To me Feeler was quite a safe-sounding album. I was quite angry about that for a long time because I let it happen. Of course I judge it more harshly than anyone else; it's not a bad record. But I learnt I have to give more direction on what I want.

History will certainly judge Tony Blair on Iraq, but first the British people will judge him on Thursday, ... Blair's judgment on the Iraq war was fatally flawed.

under Judge Webster's capable leadership, I'm confident that this strong board will address the important issues it faces with wisdom and expedition.

He's just going to have to be a good boy. Bite his lip. We were thinking of getting Judge Judy, getting it on TV. But I don't think commissioner ( David ) Stern would go for that one. They'd probably get very great ratings.

For me, one of the most important issues that needs to be addressed by Judge Roberts is the constitutional right to privacy. ... It would be very difficult for me to vote to confirm someone to the Supreme Court whom I knew would overturn Roe v. Wade .

What may be unconscionable to one judge may not be unconscionable to another judge,

What do we tell our children? ... Haste makes waste. Look before you leap. Stop and think. Don't judge a book by its cover. We believe that we are always better off gathering as much information as possible and spending as much time as possible in deliberation.

Whatever the judge decides, you must clean up your property in 30 days. If they don't do it, they're in contempt of court.

He made some throws that I'm sure he won't make this time next year. I think Alex is going to be good. I coached against John Elway in his first game, and it was very similar. You can't judge anyone by their first game.

He looked me square in the eye and said that they didn't take place, ... I must take Judge Roberts at his word.

John Ashcroft's actions there were using politics to really play to the far right. The fact that it was an African-American judge made it an even more acceptable argument that this man was soft on crime, and that's just not true,

My personal discussions with Judge Roberts, as well as his responses during the Judiciary Committee hearings, have convinced me that he respects precedents and will apply the law and Constitution fairly,

My own view is this, I've got to get my own house in order, ... I am not here to judge others. I did not have a problem with state and local officials.

I went and hunted down the goal judge. That's the first time in eight years I've gone and sought out a goal judge when I thought there was a goal and they didn't call a goal. I know it was a goal because I saw it on TV, and I saw it on tape.

My manager, Norma, was trying to get me to write it for at least 10 years and being the reclusive person I am, I wanted people to judge me for what they saw on the television, on the films or on the stage. And what I did apart from that was my own affair. So to write my autobiography was, to me, an anathema.

My meeting with Judge Roberts today only furthered my high opinion of him and my confidence in his ability to serve as chief justice of the Supreme Court, ... This is a man of high moral character and sound legal judgment, who has a profound respect for the Constitution and the role he is ready to assume.

I was among the people in the Superdome. I knew what was going on every minute. I did not have air conditioning nor shower facilities. I made decisions based upon facts and not what I thought was going to happen. So history will judge me based upon those actions.

Some of these bathrooms defy description, ... There's no way to go into a judge and a jury and describe what you're seeing.

State and local regulators are the officials with the closest contact with the regulated community, ... Given their close intimate knowledge of the business they regulate, they are in a much better position than Congress to judge whether a particular small business is deserving of leniency for a first-time violation.

pleased that the judge ruled in favor of the government in four out of five claims.

President Bush has nominated Roberts to become the most powerful judge on the nation's highest court. The public has a right to see documents that will give us more information about his judicial philosophy. If the White House continues to stall, then it begs the question, 'What is the president hiding, and why?' ... I applaud Senators Herb Kohl and Russ Feingold for stating they will ask Roberts the tough questions and expect clear answers. We are urging Wisconsinites who value freedom and privacy to call their senators and urge them to oppose Roberts' nomination.

Really, when all is over and done with, people will judge a quarterback by wins and losses. That's the best criteria you can have. Sure, we want him to improve his completion percentage. We'd like for him to complete every pass he throws, but you have to be realistic. This offense develops, for many young players, from the inside out. We're moving along at just the right pace.

Our office of general council will work with the judge to determine how FEMA will respond to the ruling.

People on either extreme would not be thrilled. But the vast majority would be extremely pleased if the president could find another Judge Roberts out there. Somebody of superb and unquestioned legal qualifications, devoted more to the law than promoting a particular agenda.

People judge gays before they meet them. They're really good, as you can see.

People judge you on whether you won or lost the last game. I think that's why he will play small ball in the coming year.

I saw the judge and shook his hand.

I saw my first Friesian back in 1980 when I was a judge at the California State Fair. I just couldn't believe what I was seeing --- the animation, the style, the tremendous stature.

I will judge the amount of money they've charged us by the end result. If it turns out this wasn't a wise choice, this is a two-year contract and we can always re-evaluate.

I think a lot of people judge him on how he dresses, by the way he looks. People who had a poor opinion of him before they meet him, completely have a 100 percent turnaround when he shows his heart and how loving he is.

Kyle has now started 16 games in his career. That's one season that he has behind him. So let's see where he goes from here. Let's just wait to judge this kid.

Jermaine Gaines pled guilty to illegal possession of firearm and was sent to five years without parole by (Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Lynn) Stewart.

I think conservatives do not have confidence she has a well-formed judicial philosophy, and they are afraid she might drift and be a part of the activist group like Justice Souter has, ...

Jamie was disappointed with the last game, but so was everybody else. You can't judge your happiness on one game.

Our guy did pretty well this year. We won 11 games. I think it will be better to try and judge it at the end of their careers, not at this point. ...

Justice was finally done. As we said in the appeal, Judge Owen was too vested in seeing Frank convicted.

Jumping the last, I thought I might stay on to be fourth. I knew we would get closer but I didn't think we were going to get there and I only thought we had won when the judge called No.10.

I'm still waiting for a judge or anyone to show me anywhere in the Constitution where there's a separation of church and state. We didn't lose; we were robbed.

Judge Roberts, I'm not talking about an issue. I'm talking about the essence of jurisprudence.

Judge Roberts moved NTP and Research in Motion closer to a settlement, and that's what investors were hoping for all along. NTP thinks past and future royalties may be as much as $1 billion, but our view is they could provide a discount to get the deal done, get the cash up front, and avoid a reexamination of the patents.

Judge Roberts should explain as soon as possible why he thought it was appropriate for him to continue hearing this case,

Judge Roberts, the legal automaton, as opposed to Judge Roberts, the man.

Judge Roberts will listen to the arguments from those challenging it and those seeking to uphold it and make a decision not based on politics but the rule of law,

Judge Roberts ... will seek to assure the American people that he will be fair and open-minded, that he understands what his role is as a judge in our system of government: not to legislate, not to execute laws but to apply the law.

Judge Sidney Stein ruled against our office, but we will appeal.

Meles is not the judge in this case.

I thought it was one of the funniest things I ever saw. The locker room is like a fraternity. The outside world can't really judge that.

I think that in the United States, we tend to brand people as terrorists. Palestinians are nothing but hospitable, gracious, friendly (and) easy people to be with. It's one of those modern mysteries of life ... how we judge people from other countries.
