This law has only been used two times - both times in the AT&T antitrust case - so it's rarely, rarely used. The longer it sits at the Court of Appeals, the less likely the Supreme Court is to take it on an expedited basis. To the extent that the Court of Appeals really starts to get their teeth into this, they could jump on this right away. (Quote by - Robert Lande)
We've got more of a half-court game than we had last year. I like it both ways (up-tempo and half-court)., but I can get my shot off better in half-court. (Quote by - Dominique Holmes)
Ultimately, it comes down to a half-court game. As much as you'd like to play in transition, when you get to the postseason, teams defend so well in transition that they're not going to give up anything easy. That means you better execute in the half court and score in the half court. (Quote by - Tod Kowalczyk)
She is the best high school player I've seen in a very long time. I like to think we're a decent half-court defensive team. It depends on our opponent .. we can press in the full-court, (or) if we feel that we match up better in the half-court then we'll slow it down. (Quote by - Kelly Mathews)
Whatever wins at the Board of Health, wins in court. We know the formulation to win at the Board of Health, the Appeals Court and the Supreme (Judicial) Court. (Quote by - Kevin O'Donnell)

Americans revere both the Constitution and an independent Court that applies the document's provisions. The Court has done many excellent things in our history, and few people are willing to see its power broken. The difficulty with all proposals to respond to the Court when it behaves unconstitutionally is that they would create a power to destroy the Court's essential work as well. (Quote by - Robert Bork)
The longer it sits at the Court of Appeals, the less likely the Supreme Court is to take it on an expedited basis. To the extent that the Court of Appeals really starts to get their teeth into this, they could jump on this right away. (Quote by - Robert Lande)
A lot of people said we don't really need a politician on the court, but for the past 30 years, we have had politicians on the court. I think it would be helpful to have someone on the court who understand how its rulings affect the other arms of government. (Quote by - Jack Roberts)
I really hope that everyone has a good hard look at what the courts have said. They've said clearly to teachers that they want them back in the classroom. They want them respecting the law. That it's important they do that. We've said to teachers that we're ready to talk about the issues that you've raised in the past. We're not willing to talk as a precondition of course to respecting the courts. That would be a disservice to the courts and a disservice to the community,. (Quote by - Gordon Campbell)
The court has gotten more conservative as the country has, but individual members of the court haven't changed — certainly not Rehnquist. The court and the country changed around him. (Quote by - Mark Tushnet)
We're excited about the opportunity to get better and compete against some real quality teams. We're on a roll and we're getting better every day. This year, everyone contributes a little more evenly. It makes the team a little more uniform. We're all having a great time playing on the court. We love practicing and being together. We hang out a lot off the court, and that makes us stronger on the court. (Quote by - Matt Carere)
They came out yesterday and got after Spring Creek and played with such intensity and emotion. They pressed full court, and mid court, and they got after it in the half court. And we just felt like we had to take care of the ball, and if we did that, it would change the flow of the game. (Quote by - Bret Walter)
In the midst of an undeclared war on terrorism, the courts could ultimately establish new legal precedent. There are issues we have never dealt with before, .. And some of it has to be made up as we go along. It may be why the Supreme Court is not eager to circumvent the ongoing process. At the very least they may want multiple lower courts to look at these cases before they get involved. (Quote by - David Yalof)
I think the court considered that the trial will attract foreign journalists, so it is better that the case be heard in a more presentable court. We might be branded a kangaroo court if the trial were held in a rundown court. (Quote by - Ismael Khan)
Given that the Court has not agreed to rehear a decision in over 50 years, this is not a huge surprise. But the denial makes it crystal clear that since the Supreme Court will not protect home and small business owners, it is now up to state legislatures and state courts to protect people from eminent domain abuse. (Quote by - Scott Bullock)
Because homecoming came first, and there was the homecoming court. The five guys on homecoming court were disqualified from being in the prom court. So being prom king was being sixth most popular. (Quote by - Andy Richter)
The Court of Criminal Appeals is widely considered to be one of the most conservative appellate courts in the world. Not one judge on that court decided that the state's appeal was worth considering. Obviously believing as the First Court of Appeals did, that when you pay thousands of dollars to a hired gun, that the least they can do is come in and tell the truth. (Quote by - Brian Wice)
I think it's important to adhere to that .. if these questions come before me, either on the court on which I know sit or if I am confirmed on the Supreme Court, .. I need to decide those questions with an open mind on the basis of the arguments presented .. and the precedence of the court. (Quote by - John Roberts)
We would like finality. We believe that we be will successful at the Supreme Court, once it gets there. We would like him to be released or charged. We think we have the unusual set of circumstances and facts in which the Supreme Court should carefully consider hearing our petition before the appeals court. (Quote by - Donna Newman)
Neither our actions as trustees, nor the court's decision, deprived Jane Pope of so much as a dime that she was entitled to. If Jane Pope appeals the court's decision, we are confident that the Superior Court and appellate courts will reach the same decision, because the law and the facts remain the same. (Quote by - Art Pope)
That ruling may bode well for Juan Miguel Gonzalez, who has petitioned the court to recognize his exclusive right to speak for Elian in legal matters, and to be left to raise his child in peace. It would certainly have been very unusual for the court to rule against the father because the law presumes that a person's parent is their guardian, and doesn't appoint outside guardians in the normal course of events, .. For the court to appoint a third-party guardian it would usually need an indication that something was badly wrong in the parent-child relationship, such as abuse. (Quote by - Adam Cohen)
You're going to have four races for the court, which means the very stable, 6-1 Republican court could become a 4-3 court overnight. The philosophical balance of this court is in play. (Quote by - John Davis)
Roberts is in exactly the same position that O'Connor and others have been, .. he's going to be on the court for 30 years, and those issues will continue to come before the court. There's no legal or ethical obligation to get rid of your holdings. But the other justices seem to have made a pragmatic decision that (doing so) is best for the operation of the court. (Quote by - Thomas Goldstein)
It's a very tough place to play because they play very well at home. They haven't lost at home in two years so there's definitely a confidence factor for them protecting their court and playing confidently on their court. And all good college basketball teams are supposed to be that way. They've taken their home court and ran with it. (Quote by - Tim Walsh)
We just have a great friendship on and off the court, and that's what I think makes us such great partners on the court. We can talk with each other. We get along so well on the court and can just have fun out there. (Quote by - Nate Emge)
Everybody has had not their day in court, they've had their years in court, .. It's shameful that the victims of this state, in fact, have to not fear the courts, not the defense lawyers, not the defendants, but they have to fear their very own governor. (Quote by - Kevin Lyons)
I think there you're going to get a measure of what seems to have been over the last few years an increasing skepticism at the center of the court over the death penalty, over the way the process works in the lower courts and in the state courts and whether the machinery of death, as justice Harry Blackmun once called it, is really working the way we want it. (Quote by - Edward Lazarus)
The police are not going to run this court. The defendants are not going to run this court. The defense attorneys are not going to run this court. The district attorney is not going to run this court. I'm going to run this court. (Quote by - Paul H. King)
I'm very excited about where we're at. We're 3-2, and both of our losses could have gone the other way. With the new courts, the girls are getting lots of hits. It's always been such a struggle, with 20 girls, to get enough court time. The new courts have been a great help. (Quote by - Bruce Beltz)
Your prospective stewardship of the court, which could last until 2040 or longer .. would present a very unique opportunity for a new chief justice to rebuild the image of the court away from what many believe it has become as a super-legislature and bring consensus to the court,. (Quote by - Arlen Specter)
First of all, our court is unanimous in 70% of its cases. That's a fact that's not often known, whereas the United States Supreme Court is unanimous only in about 40% to 45% of cases. So our court is a much more collegial court. You don't have these 5 to 4 splits that often. (Quote by - Patrick Monahan)
There is a higher court than courts of justice and that is the court of conscience. It supercedes all other courts. (Quote by - Mahatma Gandhi)
Court not opinion, therefore. For it seems to me that the most awkward situations in which we find ourselves are often born out of the womb of the opinions of men and cradled in the arms of their notions. (Quote by - Jumoke Fola-Alade)
AP CBC Wants Roberts Probed on Civil Rights: A Roberts who would limit the Supreme Court's reach would please the 10 Republicans on the committee, who used their opening statements Monday to complain about the Supreme Court's reach into areas they felt were more properly left to local, state and national legislators. Perhaps the Supreme Court's most notorious exercise of raw political power came in Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, two 1973 cases based on false statements which invented a constitutional right to abortion, .. The issue had been handled by the people through their elected representatives prior to that time. (Quote by - Sam Brownback)
We want it to be up tempo with our athletes. We try to be up tempo and get up and down the court. In the half court set we have not always executed well. Some times we don't wait for the best shot but take the first shot. If we can get down the court in a hurry, we are better off. (Quote by - Dena Sievers)
The supreme court has said the proper avenue used is through their court, through a writ of prohibition, .. The supreme court can deny the petitioners' claims altogether, they can say they will hear the matter or they can respond to or hear part of the writ. (Quote by - Brian Brown)

I was pretty focused. I told those guys I've been dealing with some things personally off the basketball court, so I haven't really been myself on the court. I just wanted to come out and take all of that personal stuff and leave it off the court and try to get a win for my team. (Quote by - Tracy McGrady)
The only way to get an FOI request honored these days is to go to court. We can go to court and win, but some regular person is not going to know how to file a complaint in federal court and prepare a brief arguing that the administration is in violation of the law. And no one has endless resources to fight every denial. It's very effective, what they've done. They keep the information hidden. (Quote by - Melanie Sloan)
I think this team thrives in the half court, more than the first three or four years I was here, when our offense was in the open court, and we struggled in the half court. I think we can score in both situations. (Quote by - Jason Kidd)
I remember last year we looked on screen and we saw we had to play Connecticut on their home court. It made you wonder if you had played them on a neutral court what would have happened. This year we play on a neutral court. It's definitely a good thing for us. (Quote by - Ganiyat Adeduntan)
Dictum is what a court thinks but is afraid to decide. (Quote by - Henry Waldorf Francis)

When Chief Justice (John) Roberts was interviewed before being sworn into the Supreme Court, he said every time he goes to court, he feels this tingling and that he understands the awesomeness of his responsibilities. I feel much the same way as I prepare to become a circuit court judge. (Quote by - Roger Le Grand)
On Aug. 8 Specter sent Roberts a similar letter regarding Supreme Court cases that overturned laws dealing with interstate commerce. Members of Congress are irate about the Court's denigrating and, really, disrespectful statements about Congress's competence, .. any real justification for the Court's denigrating Congress's 'method of reasoning' in our constitutional structure of separation of power. (Quote by - Arlen Specter)
At the heart of the controversy in these cases are those recurring pregnancies that pose no danger whatsoever to the life or health of the mother but are, nevertheless, unwanted for any one or more of a variety of reasons — convenience, family planning, economics, dislike of children, the embarrassment of illegitimacy, etc. .. I find nothing in the language or history of the Constitution to support the Court's judgment. .. As an exercise of raw judicial power, the Court perhaps has authority to do what it does today; but, in my view, its judgment is an improvident and extravagant exercise of the power of judicial review that the Constitution extends to this Court. (Quote by - Byron R. White)
Then he was an assistant at Kansas under Larry Brown and was just an excellent assistant. He was very organized and liked to work with front-court people. He's very offensive-minded. He was a good half-court teacher and (good) when you got into your half-court sets. When he had his opportunity at Indiana and San Antonio, they did well offensively. (Quote by - Hubie Brown)
The penalty for laughing in a courtroom is six months in jail; if it were not for this penalty, the jury would never hear the evidence. (Quote by - H. L. Mencken)
An appeals court found that Illinois Tool works was guilty of tying. Typically courts require in a tying lawsuit that you show that a company has market power, which is the ability to control the price that you sell the product for because there are no real competitors, .. In this case, the appeals court said that since this printer is a patented product, the existence of that patent is enough to say that you have market power. (Quote by - David Price)
The timing of this bill, the way it was driven through right as the court was considering this, it was intended to be a clear message to the Supreme Court. I don't think the state Supreme Court acts in a bubble. (Quote by - Sen. Brad Benson)
It's a victory for the government in a narrow sense, because their strategy was to keep the Supreme Court out. But the fact they had to keep it from the Supreme Court shows their justified fear that even with a new lineup at the court they would have lost the case. (Quote by - Joseph Onek)
The Supreme Court would benefit from the addition of a justice who has real experience as a practicing lawyer. The current justices have all been chosen from the lower federal courts. A nominee with relevant non-judicial experience would bring a different and useful perspective to the court. (Quote by - Harry Reid)
The lower court's blatant punting on global warming is a travesty. Despite the plain and simple language of the law the lower court refused to act. It's time for the nation's highest court to correct the lower court and take on global warming. (Quote by - John Stanton)
Students were playing on the court with black sole shoes or shoes that marked the court. When you do damage to a court like that.it doesn't look good, and if they wear too much, then our athletes don't get to practice on fast courts,. (Quote by - Michael Edwards)
Roberts' weak assurances that he brings 'no ideology' and 'no agenda' to the court are similar to assurances made previously by other Supreme Court justices. Justices Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia, Bush's proclaimed model judges, similarly promised in their hearings to bring no agenda to the court,. (Quote by - Vicki Saporta)
I'm no idealist to believe firmly in the integrity of our courts and in the jury system -- that is no ideal to me, it is a living, working reality. Gentlemen, a court is no better than each man of you sitting before me on this jury. A court is only as sound as its jury, and a jury is only as sound as the men who make it up. (Quote by - Harper Lee)
It's to our advantage to play down here. This is a big court like our court, and they have that little court over there. (Friday) night it would've been packed at Riverside. They've got their reasons, but we're glad to get a win. (Quote by - Jeff Neely)
I'd actually be surprised if this ever reaches the Supreme Court. My prediction is the lower courts will find this an easy case and strike it down. The Supreme Court could choose to hear the case or not, and I don't think it's going to. (Quote by - John McGinnis)
She's obviously a great player, doing things on the court that amazing, .. She's motivating other people all over the world to do their best both on the court and off the court, so I think it will be really cool and I regard her. (Quote by - Venus Williams)
Winners never cheat and cheaters never win..but sometimes they find themselves in court pleading guilty. (Quote by - Gary Gambardella)
With all of the distractions, I think if anything, it has brought us closer together and we understand that once we cross the line and get on the court, it is basketball. All the off-court stuff needs to stay off the court. (Quote by - Katie Gearlds)
I've done everything there is to do in the criminal justice system, from being a police officer to a prosecutor to a defense attorney. My current opponent still can't compete with that.

Until now I wasn't used to playing on hard courts, .. We don't have courts like this in Romania, we only have clay courts, and I don't know, this year I've started to play better and better on this kind of court, so I am feeling confident now and I am looking forward for the next matches and also for the US Open. (Quote by - Victor Hanescu)
The court views it as unfortunate for Secretary Rubin that he has been tarnished with this contempt citation, .. What personal involvement he has had in this fiasco is unknown to this court, but what is clear is that he has totally delegated his responsibility to others and they have miserably failed to comply with this court's orders. (Quote by - Royce Lamberth)
So far, it looks like we're going to be good at getting the ball of the court and getting easy baskets at the rim. Instinctively, the girls we have on this team like to run and fast-break. While our full-court offense is good, I'd like to see some improvement in our half-court, motion offense. That's something that will come with more practice. (Quote by - Carol Gerulis)
I have no problem with anyone storming the court. But storm the court after the opposing team has gone to the locker room. Once the opposing team is out of the area, put them all (the fans) on the court. (Quote by - Billy Donovan)

There have been three major court cases in the last 25 years on this. Each one of those court cases set a different test. The court keeps changing the rules. ..

The office where I serve has achieved a superb record in courts .. We go to court and not on the talk show circuit. And our records show that there is a bright line between law and politics, between courts and polls. It leaves the polls to the politicians and the spin doctors. We are officers of the court who live in the world of law. We have presented our cases in court and, with very rare exception, we have won. (Quote by - Ken Starr)
In my view, the Supreme Court would benefit from the addition of a justice who has real experience as a practicing lawyer. The current justices have all been chosen from the lower federal courts. A nominee with relevant non-judicial experience would bring a different and useful perspective to the Court. (Quote by - George Bush)
A written agreement will guarantee that the prosecutor will ask the court to give credit, give a discount, reduce the sentence because of the cooperation. For the first time that will be enforceable in this sense: that if the person promises to cooperate and the court sentences on that basis and they don't cooperate, you can go back to court and get the sentence reviewed. (Quote by - Lord Goldsmith)
Any time getting on a grass court is going to be pretty fast, especially a lot faster than the hard courts we've been hitting on. It's just going to be a matter of time getting used to it.

When we went down there that, as a U.S. basketball player, you're kind of like a rock star off the court, but the minute you step on the court you are the most hated opponent that there is.

An important function of the Supreme Court is to provide guidance, .. As a lower court judge, I appreciate clear guidance from the Supreme Court. (Quote by - John Roberts)
I liked it when they were pressing us full court. We broke through that. But in our half-court set we were very impatient. There was a five-minute period there where we took no good shots. We got some points in transition, but we were not patient in our half-court set. (Quote by - Dan Parr)
The matter before the court was whether Microsoft could be held in contempt for violating a consent decree entered in 1995. The court denied the Justice Department's petition for contempt; the case should have ended there.

(Quote by - William Neukom)

(Quote by - Sheila Jackson Lee)
If the property owner has complied no further action is taken. But if the problem hasn't been taken care of then there will be a visit by the enforcement official and a uniformed police officer who will issue a citation and set a court date or hearing.

(Quote by - Rick Fulmer)
In the DIOCESE OF LOS ANGELES, Bishop J. Jon Bruno lost the first round in a property fight with St. James, Newport Beach, but he is fighting back with all guns blazing. He disputes the notion of free speech and says it is simply a matter of who owns the property, which he, of course, maintains that he does. One VirtueOnline reader observed that Bruno's caterwauling about losing in court did not cite any grounds for appeal -- only the opinion that the ruling was in error. .. Nine times out of 10 when you lose in the circuit court -- you've lost. Generally, appeals courts don't overturn the rulings of lower courts. That's why appeals that triumph are such big news. (Quote by - Frank Griswold)
None of us who participated in drafting Section 215 thought it would become so controversial, given that we retained FISA court procedures. Originally the FBI wanted administrative subpoenas so they would not have to go to court to get third-party records, so they could bypass courts and prosecutors. Section 215 was a disappointment for the FBI. (Quote by - Beryl Howell)
Specter's most surprising move in preparing for the hearing came on Aug. 8, when he used a letter to Roberts to assail the current Supreme Court on matters in which the nominee had no hand.

(Quote by - Arlen Specter)
Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors of them with brass. (Quote by - Bible)
We love to change our defenses a lot. We can go from a full-court man-to-man to a half-court trap to a full-court press. And everyone knows every spot, and we don't have set positions ? wherever you're at is your spot on that play. (Quote by - Andrea Blodgett)
I would think at this point that everyone in the legislature would want to stand up and say that we abide by the notion that courts decide questions of constitutional law. And I note from the resolution that they are not in any way arguing that they should disobey the court. But I think at this point we need to sit back and let the courts decide the case. (Quote by - Ken Falk)
Throughout his years on the nation's high court, Chief Justice Rehnquist stood as a beacon of judicial restraint and reverence for the Constitution and the institution of the Supreme Court. I believe Judge Roberts will follow the lead of his mentor, and guide our nation's highest court by those same principles and devotion to the rule of law for all,. (Quote by - John Cornyn)
I am afraid the commission's decision paves the way to mass rigging. We are used to ministers or ministries ignoring court verdicts, but for the head of the Constitutional Court and judges to disrespect court rulings is very serious and unprecedented. (Quote by - Nasser Amin)
Senator, my answer is that the independence and integrity of the Supreme Court requires that nominees before this committee for a position on that court not forecast, give predictions, give hints, about how they might rule in cases that might come before the Supreme Court,. (Quote by - John Roberts)
We were doing a half-court press. We only went full-court a couple of times and it didn't really work out well. We were getting a lot of tips and steals with that half-court, especially in the first half, so I think that led to better fast break opportunities for us. (Quote by - Ryan Hill)
They have been playing well at home this year, and I think home court advantage will help them, but we have to think of the game as being played on the same size court as any other court. But I know that players definitely are more comfortable on their own court. (Quote by - Dave Calloway)
