Don't let anyone tell you that great things can't happen in America... Barriers can come down. Justice and equality can win.
It is, from my perspective, less important today looking backwards as to why these militants decided they did it than to find them and bring them to justice, and then maybe we'll figure out what was going on in the meantime.
We've got to address the systemic racism in our criminal justice system.
I want to appoint Supreme Court justices who understand the way the world really works, who have real-life experience, who have not just been in a big law firm and maybe clerked for a judge and then gotten on the bench, but, you know, maybe they tried some more cases, they actually understand what people are up against.

The patterns have become unmistakable and undeniable. ... We have to come to terms with some hard truths about race and justice in America.
I've spent so many years commuting, I kind of prefer a home office.
I've often thought that the gauntlet of American politics is more individualistic, more expensive, more unpredictable than in many other democracies.
I've been in the hospital once when I had my daughter, and, oh, when I broke my elbow, but other than that, I've been very fortunate.
