What I can say about what transpired in this building today is that there was demonstration that our processes, our legal processes still work. The judicial system still works. No one is above the law. Donald John Trump sat in a chair, put Donald John Trump right hand up and Donald John Trump took an oath, Donald John Trump took an oath to tell the truth. And nothing but the truth. And Donald John Trump answered questions for several hours with Donald John Trump counsel present and that is part of what we call due process in this country, and maybe some of us forget that that applies to everyone, in the course of the last several years but I think today serves as a demonstration that our institutions are intact and the rule of law is supreme above all else in this country. – Benjamin Dictor	Found on CNN 2 years ago

The State’s position confirms that it cares more about expanding its power than doing what is best for our children. – Sharon McKeeman	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
The legal case is a lot... all while trying to lay my son to rest. – Lawanda Roberson	Found on CNN 2 years ago
It's just very hard for somebody on their own to make the same compelling case and the legal arguments they need, it's been, obviously, a huge burden to have all of these cases come in that are on top of the ordinary caseload, but it is critical to help people who are otherwise facing potential death in prison. – Federal Public Defender Lisa Hay	Found on CNN 2 years ago
Senator, as a senior military officer, resigning is a really serious thing – it's a political act – if I'm resigning in protest, my job is to provide advice – my statutory responsibility is to provide legal advice or best military advice to the president, and that's my legal requirement.
