"I am very much opposed to abortion personally. But I don’t think it is the government’s rule." ― Arlen Specter Topic(s): Government Tags: opposed More From Arlen Specter "I do come from a strong family." "There’s nothing in the First Amendment that even remotely talks about spending money for political contests, and to say that an individual can spend as much of his or her own money as he or she wants constitutionally without any limitation, I think is just absurd." "If we had pursued what President Nixon declared in 1970 as the war on cancer, we would have cured many strains. I think Jack Kemp would be alive today. And that research has saved or prolonged many lives, including mine."

It turned out it was not a threat to U.S. security. But even if it had been, that doesn’t mean that it couldn’t be published."― Alan Dershowitz "I stand before you today because this vision of government as the engine of opportunity is what I believe in."― Eliot Spitzer "The Framers of the Bill of Rights did not purport to “create” rights. Rather, they designed the Bill of Rights to prohibit our Government from infringing rights and liberties presumed to be preexisting."― William J. Brennan, Jr.
