More From Samuel Alito

I Am Particularly Proud Of My Contributions In Recent Cases In Which The Government Has Argued In The Supreme Court That Racial And Ethnic Quotas Should Not Be Allowed And That The Constitution Does Not Protect A Right To An Abortion.

Part Of Me Wanted To Get A Graduate Degree In Political Science. Had I Done That, I Suppose I Would Have Become A College Professor.

I Can Still Remember The Day, As An Assistant U.s. Attorney, When I Stood Up In Court For The First Time And I Proudly Said, "my Name Is Samuel Alito And I Represent The United States In This Court." It Was A Great Honor For Me To Have The United States As My Client During All Of Those Years.

When I Was Sworn In As A Judge Of The Court Of Appeals, I Took An Oath. I Put My Hand On The Bible And I Swore That I Would Administer Justice Without Respect To Persons, That I Would Do Equal Right To The Poor And To The Rich, And That I Would Carry Out My Duties Under The Constitution And The Laws Of The United States.

It's Been A Great Honor For Me To Spend My Career In Public Service.
