More quotes by Orrin Hatch

Orrin Hatch
We're going to find out who did this and we're going after the bastards.
Orrin Hatch
The debate over judicial nominations is a debate over the judiciary itself. It is a debate over how much power unelected judges should have in our system of government, how much control judges should have over a written constitution that belongs to the people.
Orrin Hatch
We cannot let our respect for the FBI blind us from the fact the FBI has sometimes come up short of our expectations.
Orrin Hatch
The only ones who will see an increase in pay are some of the trial lawyers who bring the cases.
Orrin Hatch
We must apply a judicial, not a political, standard to this record. Asking a judicial nominee whose side you will be on in future cases is a political standard.
Orrin Hatch
Capital punishment is our society's recognition of the sanctity of human life.
Orrin Hatch

Orrin Hatch

Orrin Hatch
We must remember that judicial nominees are constrained in what they may discuss and how they may discuss it.
Orrin Hatch
The fact that Judge [Samuel] Alito is such a baseball fan gives me even more confidence that he knows the proper role of a judge.
Orrin Hatch
No matter how badly senators want to know things, judicial nominees are limited in what they may discuss. That limitation is real. And it comes from the very nature of what judges do.
Orrin Hatch
I don't want to be overly critical about our military or our intelligence people, because it's a tough job. But neither should think be beating their breasts and saying what a wonderful job they did.
Orrin Hatch
You know, we should not be giving cash to people who basically are just going to blow it on drugsand not take care of their own children.
Orrin Hatch
Our heroes are fighting to bring stability to the Middle East, and they have put pressure on all of the tyrannies of the Middle East. They have taken a stand against tyranny, against terrorists, and for the prospect of decent societies throughout that region.
Orrin Hatch
It's typical of Mormon people to love all people, but especially Jewish people.
Orrin Hatch
We should evaluate judges and judicial nominees based on the general process for applying the law to any legal disputes, not on the specific result in a particular case or dispute.
Orrin Hatch
Because judges may not issue advisory opinions, judicial nominees may not do so either, especially on issues likely to come before the court. That rule has always been honored.
Orrin Hatch
