Judge Quotations | Page 9

You've never seen me debate anybody. On anything. Ever. My investment of time, as an educator, in my judgment, is best served teaching people how to think about the world around them. Teach them how to pose a question. How to judge whether one thing is true versus another. What the laws of physics say.

You want justice, but do you want to pay for it, hm? When you go to a butcher you know you have to pay, but you people go to a judge as if you were off to a funeral supper.

That's what President Bush found in Judge Roberts and what he'll look for in the nominee for the new vacancy. The president has a constitutional responsibility to nominate someone to the bench, and no one should have veto power over the president's constitutional responsibility.

That's fine if that's what (the league) thinks going to happen. I don't know, nobody knows, until the state board reviews the data and gets back to the judge - we don't know if there's an equalization issue or not.

That's what we had to do for us, ... and I would hope that people who felt this was inappropriate would feel it was inappropriate for them and not judge me unless they've been where I've been.

That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.

As bright and brilliant and as good a lawyer as Judge Roberts was, I asked him - he'd never taken a deposition, he'd never picked a jury, never tried a case, ... He never tried a case. She has. We need people like that who have real-life experiences.

As a publicist, I judge a party not on my fun, but on getting positive press from publications, and the celebrity turnout. I can't remember the last time I had fun at one of my events. If I have a good time, it's not a good sign.

Although it is too early to judge Mr. Libby guilty or innocent of these particular charges, it is not too early for you to reassure the American people that you understand the enormous gravity of the allegations, ... To this end, we urge you to pledge that if Mr. Libby or anyone else is found guilty of a crime in connection with Patrick Fitzgerald's investigation, you will not exercise your authority to issue a presidential pardon.

Always try to put yourself in the position of the other and judge your action against the background. Then you will not be wrong.

Also, interestingly enough, some of the things he was accused of believing ...actually were not his personal beliefs but what he instituted as a government employee - some of the same arguments are now being suggested will be used by Judge Roberts in his confirmation hearings.

Americans can be comforted to learn that the Florida judge found no credible evidence to suggest that the results from any additional recounts would be any different from the results of the counts and recounts already conducted, all of which showed Gov. Bush and Dick Cheney won Florida's electoral votes,

Although (the officers who were released) are technically required to remain available to the justice system, it would be easy for them to hide in Haiti or flee abroad. It is unusual in Haiti to grant pre-trial release to defendants held on such serious charges, especially where, as here, the judge has not even questioned all of the witnesses.

Amazon is certainly not a perfect company. However, doctors, teachers, engineers, journalists, politicians, and labor unions are also on a continuum of consciousness, and none are perfect either. It is easy to judge and find fault with any company if that is what one's ideological biases wish to see.

They say I am a regulator and I think it is just an effort not to comply with the decree. I do not do anything except what the decree requires me to do.

They tell people that the language is sloppy and ask them not to risk a judge using those words to ban marriage as we know it.

They understood, too, that it would be wrong to sacrifice the impartiality of the judge and make a comment to anyone in the United States Senate that you'd rule one way or another if you're confirmed,

This happens fairly often. I have no control over whether or not I am disqualified but in the event that I am Judge Sharp assigns another judge to hear the case.

Prior to the trial, a relative of Edgar Ray Killen threatened to kill the trial court judge and other individuals in the courtroom,

Prior to the Utah High School Lacrosse League being created, there was no official state champion crowned. Back in the old days when Waterford and Judge would play, the winner of our match was the unofficial state champion, I guess.

Prizes seem like a great resource for new poets and writers to judge themselves against their peers, but of course, they aren't judging themselves.

Sometimes juries think the judge is part of the government.

Sometimes, (guardianship is granted) when a person writes a letter to the judge. (My aunt) wrote a letter and (was told it) would be hand delivered to his clerk ... I am waiting to see if this letter to the judge will do anything.

Sometimes it is easy...to enhance your prestige by not exercising your responsibility, but that's not been the tradition of the court.

People should not judge us on where we stand at the beginning of the season. If we start 3-7 in our first 10 games, it's OK if I see promise.

Ten years ago they were relatively easy to challenge and the judge had very, very wide discretion whether to enforce them. Today, the national trend is, 'Baby, if you sign it, we will hold you to it.

Tell God the truth, but give the judge money

People are trying to judge the degree of the (housing) slowdown and whether it is a slowdown, and if they are on the margins in terms of making a final decision, a small interest rate change one way or the other can have the effect of changing people's minds.

PRECEDENT, n. In Law, a previous decision, rule or practice which, in the absence of a definite statute, has whatever force and authority a Judge may choose to give it, thereby greatly simplifying his task of doing as he pleases. As there are precedents for everything, he has only to ignore those that make against his interest and accentuate those in the line of his desire. Invention of the precedent elevates the trial-at-law from the low estate of a fortuitous ordeal to the noble attitude of a dirigible arbitrament.

Right now, the stock is just being driven by government propaganda. I think come the fall election, getting a more reasonable judge involved in this case will get this thing resolved.

Right now, we have a system with no accountability. A judge can order someone to treatment, and they can do whatever they want. To have a system where so few people show up is shocking.

far too early to judge what the events... will have for an impact on medium-term developments.

Especially in light of the debate over Judge Roberts' confirmation, all Americans should look closely at the issue of judicial activism and to make their voices heard.

Evans should have been allowed to withdraw and the judge should have allowed the other counsel to handle the preliminary hearing.

There's gonna be enormous pressure on the judge to avoid a strike because if there is a strike, it could conceivably be the end of the airline.

There's a fine balance between keeping the pressure on and pushing people over the edge. The judge has to have a light finger on the trigger.

There's really no right or wrong right now in terms of strategy. It's difficult to judge because it's so early in the game in terms of who has the right strategy.

There's nothing I can do about it, really. I think everybody knows what it takes to win games. Hopefully, they know what they have to do when they go out there. I know what I'm doing. I'm not going to judge anybody. Hopefully, we get together as a team and start playing the game the right way.

There's no way that you're going to be able to tell with the naked eye. And there's no way of knowing what was intentional, and how are you going to judge what was too hard when the cars are running 190 miles an hour?

There's no question that it's not your run of the mill case. But remember that a judge had already told (union members) 'it's an illegal strike and to go back to work.' They didn't do that.

There's no reason that I can't. No judge has issued any kind of injunction that prevents me from doing that, and that's what this whole lawsuit is about.

Why couldn't he? It's the luck of the draw. The judge loves you or not.

Women have often more of what is called good sense then men. They have fewer pretensions; are less implicated in theories; and judge of objects more from their immediate and involuntary impression on the mind, and, therefore, more truly and naturally.

We think the judge made the wrong decision in this case and we have every intention of filing an appeal.

We also judge that the dollar is vulnerable from a structural perspective. External imbalances in the U.S. are not a key market focus at the moment, but this could change on signs of weakening flow support.

We believe Judge West's ruling was correct. We feel the Judge's ruling addressed the issues in our suit, too.

Trying to judge a big guy too early is a mistake. If he wants to be an NBA player, he has to stick with it. You never know ? he may get an opportunity here.

We believe important principles are at stake. A judge can't tell a newspaper what it can or can't publish and a judge cannot restrict legitimate news gathering activities.

The way to fight is just simply send a registered letter or an e-mail (to GM). If your vehicle is not reasonably durable and has a mechanical defect, any judge on any bench -- small claims up to the Supreme Court of Canada -- can make that company pay.

The university hopes to have the matter addressed by the newly assigned trial judge as quickly as possible and, if necessary, for any appeals to be completed so that the next legislature can confirm an appointment as quickly as possible.

The university?s legal counsel informed Judge Clark that the university was not willing to enter into settlement discussions with Coach O?Brien or his attorneys. That led to the judge?s decision to cancel the mediation.

This case was five or six years of litigation telescoped into less than three, which is a testament to a hands-on judge determined to get a fair and just resolution for investors and defendants as quickly as the judicial system will permit. We are extremely gratified by the kind words she has to say and look forward to pushing hard to process claims in accordance with the formula approved today and distributing this historic recovery to the victims of the WorldCom fraud as quickly as we can.

They should be made available to senators as they decide whether Judge Roberts deserves confirmation,

This is precisely the reason we need Judge Roberts to be confirmed as Chief Justice. He's made it clear that he puts the law and the Constitution first. And he's made it clear that he won't substitute his own values for the clear commands of the law.

This is a big-boy league. I understand repercussions and the way you judge a general manager.

This is a fully developed country that has held over 50 international championships in the last 10 years. If you judge them on the sporting process, they are an excellent choice.

admitted before Judge Samuel D. Natal that he had a .22-caliber rifle when he and two co-defendants went out at approximately 3 a.m. on July 6 with the intention of 'hijacking a car.'

You see a girl like Barbie, and you judge her by the guy she dates. And Ken looked boring and old-fashioned.

You're basically having to judge what had the state been doing in those areas, and what is the lottery doing above and beyond.

This is a time for justice tempered with mercy and understanding.  There is no evidence of either in Judge Roberts' career. The president should be denied this nomination.

This is a total victory, everything we requested from the court. We did not want any confidential source to be identified and we did not want to produce any reporter's notes. That's what the judge provided.

This is an ordinary tool as used throughout the country but always in adherence to the Constitution and always -- and this is so important -- always with the oversight of a federal judge who has to determine that ... probable cause exists in the first place,

This is an outrageous order from an activist federal judge that offends Missouri values, ... I call on the attorney general to vigorously pursue all available legal options to overturn this offensive federal mandate. It is time for him to aggressively argue that this is an inappropriate use of taxpayer resources and contrary to state law.

This is huge. I feel like we haven't lost momentum after the national championship, we've gained it. The Texas Relays are a great chance for us to judge where we are as a team. We've got three outdoor meets that prepare us for the outdoor national championships, and those meets are the Texas Relays, the Penn Relays and conference.

This is a new venture. (A judge says) even though it looks like a slot machine and acts like a slot machine, it's not really a slot machine.

This is an extraordinarily high amount. We feel good about it because they're not a danger to the community. The judge told us if we came up with more property, he would consider that a new fact to reopen. Considering that, and if you come up with other conditions, there's no way they're going anywhere.

This is a public safety issue. My concern is that this judge is putting drunk drivers back on the road, based on a decision that none of his peers have seen fit to agree with.

This is not unique, by any means. We don't believe that it's inappropriate, either, and at the end of the day he seems to be selectively choosing Judge Baldwin as a target for who knows what.

This is not about who can be the best legal mind. It's about who can be the best business manager for this county. The most important job of the Smith County judge is being its chief executive officer and chief budget officer. My 32 years of business experience will serve me well in that capacity.

I judge movies on how much fun I had while I was doing them. I had a great time on 'The Right Stuff.' Doing that was fantastic. And there was the year I did 'The Rookie' and 'Far From Heaven,' which was amazing because those two different roles were just so far apart.

I judge the jobs I've had in this business by the places they took me, and by that standard, there simply has been nothing to match 'The National Sports Daily.'

I judge these acts of Brother Connor to be particularly cruel, because I was so vulnerable at the time,

After this particular count, I said it looks like we have a hung jury. So I actually considered writing a note to the judge to say this, we're at a deadlock.

I've got a good feeling, ... No problems at all. I've been pushing a little bit but, when I get a good split time through, I back off. The system seems to be working and I think I'm able to judge the pace quite well.

I've had a fair time to judge the Liverpool people and I think they're tremendous.

In business, people wait until the story's finished and then judge whether it's good or bad,

I know there are people of strongly held views on both sides of the issue ... And I know that the responsibility of a judge confronting this issue is to decide the case according to the rule of law consistent with the precedents, not to take sides in the dispute as a matter of policy, but to decide it according to the law.

I know they've had some problems with their heavy equipment. The judge has said they're going to repair everything they've damaged. I think they're willing to be good citizens and keep the roads repaired also.

I mean those people who are interested in good government will certainly contribute in order to make certain there's some counter-balance to those whose interests in good government is less.

I'm no great fan of how Judge Starr conducted his investigation, but I didn't think that was the time or the place to lodge those complaints.

I never saw the play, although I heard it was good.

I never judge referees in these cases. I will say that the first foul was debatable and from the bench I thought he had nothing to do with the second incident.

I'm asking the judge to have a hearing and determine that Michael has been acting without authority and to restore visitation.

I'm board-certified in juvenile law. The county judge sits as chairman of the juvenile board, so I can be a benefit in that regard. As a lawyer, I can better understand the contracts and legal issues that come before the Commissioners Court. There are probate matters, guardianships, and mental health commitments. Those encompass at least a day or two in court (per week).

I personally believe that the police routinely violate an individual's rights and as defense attorneys we're always fighting an uphill battle. In my opinion, it is extremely admirable for a judge to have the courage to suppress evidence in a serious case like this.

I'm confident the voters will judge me for who I am and what I believe,

I'm confused here. I can't tell whether Judge Hecht is arguing that she is going to overturn Roe or she's not going to overturn Roe . If he wants to reassure his fellow pro-life conservatives, that's the last argument he should be making, the argument that he just made.

If the (NCAA) selection committee will judge us on the body of our work, I don't think there's any question we have a place there.

If the president can find someone in Judge Roberts' mold, I think by putting up that nominee, he disarmed his opponents,

If the property owner has complied no further action is taken. But if the problem hasn't been taken care of then there will be a visit by the enforcement official and a uniformed police officer who will issue a citation and set a court date or hearing. The court, in this case Municipal Court Judge Rusty Turner, will preside at the hearing and may levy fines or set conditions for compliance as set out in the applicable ordinance.

If there is no higher reason--and there is none--then my own reason must be the supreme judge of my life

If Judge Roberts repeatedly resorts to the so-called 'Ginsburg Precedent,' it will sound less like a principled refusal to answer and more like a variation on the Fifth Amendment: 'I refuse to answer that question on the ground that it may incriminate me. Answering may reveal my actual views about constitutional law and cause me to lose votes,'

If Judge Starr's object of this whole investigation is to net Monica Lewinsky in a conviction and jail time, then we have to look at how our tax dollars are being spent.

I'm frustrated, the judge is frustrated, everybody is frustrated at the position that we're in now.

I have never seen Francis Crick in a modest mood. Perhaps in other company he is that way, but I have never had reason so to judge him.

I have no reason to doubt the name mentioned. But everything's still just allegations at this point. This early, it wouldn't be fair to judge anyone.

I'm racing for the wins and racing up front and finishing in the top 10. It's puzzling to me how you can judge a driver on that.

In my opinion, putting that before the judge and both families would be very horrible and not fruitful in any way.

In rejecting my suit in District Court, the judge relied on the initial sanctions law against Iraq of 1990, a response to the limited and specific situation of the Iraq invasion of Kuwait. It was created to limit economic interactions with Iraq. Yet this same law is being applied to humanitarian travel to pre-war Iraq. Under this interpretation, buying food while on such a mission is a crime.

In the face of provocative outbursts, the judge has to be firm but not trigger-happy in applying sanctions if fairness is going to be respected.
