We're in a position ordsprog

en We're in a position where one of these two statements is a lie. He's admitted he's lied about the most important part of his testimony so how can the judge allow this person to testify? But that's what judges do, they make decisions.

en There are judges at all levels who may face a situation where there is a potential conflict of interest, either a situation where an attorney presenting a case before them has given a large sum of money or where the judge, as a candidate, has made statements implying favor or bias for one side of a case over the other. Many judges will remove themselves from a case if a conflict is apparent, but there are no official standards. A conflict that one judge might step aside for, another judge might not see as a problem. Rather than a standard set of guidelines for everyone to use it really is, forgive the pun, a judgment call.

en INADMISSIBLE, adj. Not competent to be considered. Said of certain kinds of testimony which juries are supposed to be unfit to be entrusted with, and which judges, therefore, rule out, even of proceedings before themselves alone. Hearsay evidence is inadmissible because the person quoted was unsworn and is not before the court for examination; yet most momentous actions, military, political, commercial and of every other kind, are daily undertaken on hearsay evidence. There is no religion in the world that has any other basis than hearsay evidence. Revelation is hearsay evidence; that the Scriptures are the word of God we have only the testimony of men long dead whose identity is not clearly established and who are not known to have been sworn in any sense. Under the rules of evidence as they now exist in this country, no single assertion in the Bible has in its support any evidence admissible in a court of law. It cannot be proved that the battle of Blenheim ever was fought, that there was such as person as Julius Caesar, such an empire as Assyria. But as records of courts of justice are admissible, it can easily be proved that powerful and malevolent magicians once existed and were a scourge to mankind. The evidence (including confession) upon which certain women were convicted of witchcraft and executed was without a flaw; it is still unimpeachable. The judges' decisions based on it were sound in logic and in law. Nothing in any existing court was ever more thoroughly proved than the charges of witchcraft and sorcery for which so many suffered death. If there were no witches, human testimony and human reason are alike destitute of value.

en I'm not the type of person who counts something I don't have. Do we think about it? Yeah, that's part of the game and part of the strategy. We have to make decisions and make rosters. Right now, I try to stay away the most I can about talking about playoff games.

en It's an educational process that judges have to understand that in no way is this an appropriate substitute to actual personal involvement. But judges are called upon to make very difficult decisions in regards to relocation. ... And it is an option.

  Michel Foucault

en It seemed to us important to judge [Roberts] on the basis of what we knew about him. He has not manifested, in the testimony that he provided, the sort of commitment to constitutional rights that are important to our community to deserve to be confirmed.
