Quotes
- “Some kinds of government regulation of private consensual homosexual behavior may face substantial constitutional challenge.”
- “Indeed I do and I admire it. I am a practicing Catholic.”

And, with a look of horror, the nominee says, "Oh, I won't legislate." Well, what about the law of contract and tort; where do they think it came from, the stork?”
