Judge [samuel Alito], There's A Genuine Struggle

During The 60's, I Was, In Fact, Very Concerned About The Civil Rights Movement.

This Attitude Of How Society Views Women As Chattel - That's The Biggest Thing To Overcome. When I First Started A Stake In The Issue Of Relationship Abuse, I Got Really Beat Up By The Christian Right Because I Was Interfering In What Was A Personal Family Affair. It's A "family Matter." That's Why I Wish We'd Drop The Phrase "domestic Violence." It Sounds Like A Domesticated Cat. It Is The Most Vicious Of All Crimes - To Be Abused By Someone You Had A Relationship With! Because Then You Blame Yourself.

Don't Be Intimidated By Power, Wealth Or Station, Character Alone Makes All The Difference.

A Lucky Person Gets Up In The Morning, Puts Both Feet On The Floor, Knows What They're About To Do And Thinks It Still Matters.

Matter Of Fact, The Way We Got A Path, A Great Friend, Arlen Specter, I Convinced Him To Switch Parties. Not A Joke. Not A Joke. He Was The Deciding Vote.
