Having federal officials, whether judges, bureaucrats, or congressmen, impose a new definition of marriage on the people is an act of social engineering profoundly hostile to liberty.
Ron Paul

Human judges can show mercy. But against the laws of nature, there is no appeal.
Arthur C. Clarke

I also read modern novels - I have just had to read 60 as I am one of the judges for the Orange Fiction Prize.
Kate Adie

I believe the two biggest mistakes made by the Founders were giving Federal judges life-time appointments and permitting them to be confirmed without the agreement of two-thirds of the members of the United States Senate.
John Jay Hooker

I don't care who or what judges me, nothing's going to stop me from living my life how I choose.
Amanda Holden

I have generally found that persons who had studied painting least were the best judges of it.
William Hogarth

I love judges, and I love courts. They are my ideals, that typify on earth what we shall meet hereafter in heaven under a just God.
William Howard Taft

I never speak ill of dead people or live judges.
Edwin Edwards

I really try at least to come back and answer the question as to whether that was really the best way to do that and was I really thinking straight and how did my opponents behave and how did the judges behave was needed.
Floyd Abrams

I was just ice skating. I had no concept of that. In those days you couldn't see the judges. I was this little person on the ice and they were just people that would stand around the boards.
Dorothy Hamill

I wouldn't approach the issue of judging in the way the president does. Judges can't rely on what's in their heart. They don't determine the law. Congress makes the law. The job of a judge is to apply the law.
Sonia Sotomayor

Ideological warriors whether from the Left or the Right are bad news for the bench. They tend to make law, not interpret law. And that's not what any of us should want from our judges.
Charles Schumer

Charles Rangel

In England the judges should have independence to protect the people against the crown. Here the judges should not be independent of the people, but be appointed for not more than seven years. The people would always re-elect the good judges.
Andrew Jackson

In Italy the censor is very old and there are many judges and psychiatrists who analyse you.
Dario Argento

In the remaining months, we should focus on achieving more robust international involvement in training of Iraqi soldiers, police officers, judges, teachers, and doctors - all key elements needed to end the sectarian and civil conflict and build Iraq's future.
John Olver

It has something to do with the facts and the law and who the judges are. So I think lawyers sometimes exaggerate their role in winning and losing. Lawyers do have a role, and a major role, but they're not the only players in this game.
Floyd Abrams

It is impossible to have a public trial if you can't guarantee the safety of witnesses, judges or defense counsel.
Richard Goldstone
