Chapter Eighty One
"Senator Goldwater?"
"Thank you, Mr President. Our judicial system has always been proud of it's independence. Politics did not raise an issue within the halls of the Courts, only the Constitution. I believe Mr Brooke will uphold the Constitution, and I insist that my fellow Senators maintain that political differences must not interfere with our Court selection."
"Barry, I value the Constitution, but the Constitution was based upon the concept of certain values. The abortion of lives before those lives begin is contrary to the ideals of the United States."
"Jesse, we can argue about abortion, and we can argue about other issues, but the point is that at the Court it is the law, and not what 'values' we're for, that's defended."
"So you don't care about the murder of children?"
"Right now, what matters is this Court's independence."
"I'm having trouble seeing you as a Conservative right now."
"I'm having trouble seeing you as a Senator right now."
