A resilient people cherishing liberty and equality and the rule of law will endure.

When I have people like Planned Parenthood intentionally not following the law, that's where the state will be involved.

The American people have a right to except that the rule of law will guarantee that even if we don't like the policy, that it's done properly.

If a ruler can get rid of private crookedness and promote the public law, his people will become secure, and his state will become well ordered.

The problem is not that there are too many guns. It's that there are people that will go out and break the law, whether it's a gun or some other weapon or a bomb.

You will read in the newspaper more often about federal courts, but the law that affects people, the trials that affect human beings are by and large in the state courts.

For a bill to become law, it truly has to be the will of the people, and for a president to stop the will of the people and stop what you're trying to do in your state is not the role of Washington.

Attrition through enforcement is simply the self-evident principle that if you ratchet up the level of enforcement and make it more difficult to break the law, fewer people will continue to break the law.

We need law enforcement as the ultimate deterrent to stop irresponsible and rash young people from making mistakes that will harm others and themselves. Put bluntly, we need them to be scared of getting caught and of getting punished.
