I'm A Hard Headed Lawyer.

Though This Nation Has Proudly Thought Of Itself As An Ethnic Melting Pot, In Things Racial We Have Always Been And I Believe Continue To Be, In Too Many Ways, Essentially A Nation Of Cowards

When You Compare What People Endured In The South In The 60s To Try To Get The Right To Vote For African Americans, And To Compare What People Were Subjected To There To What Happened In Philadelphia - Which Was Inappropriate, Certainly That . . . To Describe It In Those Terms I Think Does A Great Disservice To People Who Put Their Lives On The Line, Who Risked All, For My People.

People Feel Uncomfortable Talking About Racial Issues Out Of Fear That If They Express Things They Will Be Characterized In A Way That's Not Fair. I Think That There Is Still A Need For A Dialogue About Things Racial That We Have Not Engaged In.

The Constitution Guarantees Due Process, Not Judicial Process.

Too Many Americans Go To Too Many Prisons For Far Too Long, And For No Truly Good Law Enforcement Reason.
