You’ve got to have safeguards [on law enforcement authorities] if we’re going to continue to have the freedom we’ve had for the past 200 years.

An attorney general has to stand up [to the President], and sometimes he will be replaced.

There are over 100 law enforcement agencies in the Federal government. A few years ago the House had a hearing on this and they couldn’t find all of them.

You have to be careful about reform. If you can't trust the system weren't bad shape.

If we [Federal judges] would have had to run for election in the South in the 1960's we would have had a new set of judges every year.

You're either in a conflict or you're not in a conflict.

Being Attorney General is a lot better than being a judge. You can get something done. If you have an idea, you’ve got thousands of people you can put to work on the idea.
