The Demand Of Our People In 1980

The Core Values Of Our Constitution Are At The Heart Of Our Nation's Progress.

The Stark And Tragic Images Of Human Suffering In The Aftermath Of Hurricane Katrina Have Reminded Us Yet Again That Civil Rights And Equal Rights Are Still The Great Unfinished Business Of America. The Suffering Has Been Disproportionately Borne By The Weak, The Poor, The Elderly And Infirm, And Largely African-americans, Who Were Forced By Poverty, Illness, Unequal Opportunity To Stay Behind And Bear The Brunt Of The Storm's Winds And Floods. I Believe That Kind Of Disparate Impact Is Morally Wrong In This, The Richest Country In The World.

In An Era When Too Many Americans Are Losing Their Jobs Or Working For Less, Trying To Make Ends Meet, In Close Cases Judge [samuel] Alito Has Ruled The Vast Majority Of The Time Against The Claims Of The Individual Citizens. He Has Acted Instead In Favor Of Government, Large Corporations And Other Powerful Interests.

I Applaud The Fact That The President Has Reached Out To The Members Of Judiciary Committee. And I Applaud... The Fact That He Has Been Meeting With Members Of The Judiciary Committee. He's Been Seeking Out Republicans As Well As Democrats.

For All My Years In Public Life, I Have Believed That America Must Sail Toward The Shores Of Liberty And Justice For All. There Is No End To That Journey, Only The Next Great Voyage. We Know The Future Will Outlast All Of Us, But I Believe That All Of Us Will Live On In The Future We Make.
