I'm Strongly For A Patient Bill Of

Ideological Warriors Whether From The Left Or The Right Are Bad News For The Bench. They Tend To Make Law, Not Interpret Law. And That's Not What Any Of Us Should Want From Our Judges.

I Think On This Issue More Than Any Other We're Going To See Sort Of A Bipartisan Longing To Get Something Done, And Hopefully You're Not Going To Find The Fisticuffs That You Would Find On Lots Of Other Issues. I Think You'll Be Able To Glean A Sense Of Progress Without Us Revealing The Specifics.

I Think, The Left Makes A Mistake. If You Look Particularly At The State Levels, Violent Repeat Criminals Are Not Punished Enough. The Average Murderer Is Sentenced To 17 1/2 Years But Serves Six. The Average Rapist Is Sentenced To 10 Years But Serves About Three And A Half. The Average Mugger Is Sentenced To Five Years And Serves Little More Than One.

I Support The Death Penalty For The Kingpin, The Guy At The Top, But I Don't Think You Should Throw A Drug Offender In Jail For Five Years, And Let A Mugger Out After A Year.

If The Saudis Were Culpable, They Should Be Held Accountable. If They Had Nothing To Do With 9/11, They Have Nothing To Fear.
