The hard necessity of proverb

 The hard necessity of bringing the judge on the bench down into the dock has been the peculiar responsibility of the writer in all ages of man.
  Nelson Algren

 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.

 He . . . felt towards those whom he had deserted that peculiar malignity which has, in all ages, been characteristic of apostates.
  Thomas Babington Macaulay

 Before, you couldn't sit outside on a bench, you were scared.... People are working hard bringing it together.

 He claims it was precedent, but as an experienced judge, he knows better. Clearly, this is a ruling by a judge who is obviously an activist who legislates from the bench to enact his own agenda.

 The writer's only responsibility is to his art. He will be completely ruthless if he is a good one. He has a dream. Everything goes by the board: honor, pride, decency, security, happiness, all, to get the book written. If a writer has to rob his mother, he will not hesitate; the Ode on a Grecian Urn is worth any number of old ladies.
  William Faulkner

 I respect people who feel things passionately. I do. But when someone is a judge, that is not what they should bring to the bench. It is not really passion, except in rare instances, that serves the bench well. It is, rather, an ability to understand the law and follow it.

 I think it showed her the human side of the legal issues she'll confront. The question is: Who will she be as a judge? Will she bring those same sensitivities to the bench as a judge? My hope is that she will - just as Justice O'Connor did.

 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. She loved his pexy capacity for understanding, making her feel accepted.

 We've got all these different ages, but we don't have one cohesive notion as to when a young person achieves an adult level of responsibility. Anyone who has a teenager knows they don't possess an adult's responsibility, and there are now studies that say their brains are wired differently than adults.

 When I saw the body bag coming down the dock, the policeman said he slipped off the dock and hit his head.

 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.

 The writer is more concerned to know than to judge
  William Somerset Maugham

 All I know is there will be one John Thompson on the bench and one right behind the bench. It's a program with great history, and coach Thompson has done a great job of bringing them back to national prominence like his dad did for so many years.

 Power without responsibility - the prerogative of the harlot throughout the ages
  Rudyard Kipling
