Kennedy's charge that his views on civil rights legislation were] narrow and cramped and perhaps even mean spirited, ... I don't want to express any conclusions on hypothetical questions, whether as applied in a particular case, where there would be a challenge ... Those cases come up all the time and I do need to avoid expressing an opinion on those issues.»

Author: John Roberts
«You're supposed to be the dispassionate observer when it comes to these events, but you couldn't help be provoked to outrage by what you saw. There was just no plan to take care of these people whatsoever.»
Author: John Roberts
«I don't think you can read those opinions and say that these are the opinions of an ideologue. You may think they're not enough. You may think you need more of a sample. That's your judgment. But I think if you looked at what I've done since I took the judicial oath, that should convince you that I'm not an ideologue. And you and I agree that that's not the sort of person we want on the Supreme Court.»
