2. Echos of Ed Meese
U.S News: You criticize the Miranda ruling, which gives suspects the right to have a lawyer present before police questioning. Shouldn't people, who may be innocent, have such protection?
Meese: Suspects who are innocent of a crime should. But the thing is, you don't have many suspects who are innocent of a crime. That's contradictory. If a person is innocent of a crime, then he is not a suspect.

3. and he was the ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE U.S. ...
and people just sat there and listened to this and shook their heads and went about their business. So when they talk about putting Reagan on Mt. Rushmore, one can see that it just might happen someday...

8. That statement should have removed him from the Court and landed him in jail.
