When I started law school I was shocked to learn that our legal system traditionally had the man as the head and master of the family. As late as the '70s and '80s when we were fighting for the Equal Rights Amendment states like Louisiana still had a head and master law.

History has shown us that on extraordinarily rare occasions it becomes necessary for the federal government to intervene on behalf of individuals whose 14th Amendment rights to legal due process and equal protection may be violated by a state.

Let me remind you that nuclear disarmament is not just an ardent desire of the people as expressed in many resolutions of the United Nations. It is a legal commitment by the five official nuclear states entered into when they signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

It is a sign of the times that the absence of meaningful ID requirements in many states leaves our voting process vulnerable to fraud and allows legal votes to be cancelled out by illegally cast ballots.

What we bring to the table is not only our 56 field offices in the United States and our number of resident agencies but also we have 45 legal attaches overseas.

Defining marriage is a power that should be left to the states. Moreover no state should be forced to recognize a marriage that is not within its own laws Constitution and legal precedents.

I contend the state ought to do its thing and provide legal rights for all couples who want to be joined together for life. The church should bless unions that it sees fit to bless and they should be called marriages.

However there is no legal and legitimate state called Israel.

Justice in the life and conduct of the State is possible only as first it resides in the hearts and souls of the citizens.

From you we have learned what we at least value to separate Church and State and from you we gather inspiration at all times in our devotion to learning to religious liberty and to individual and National freedom.

After the United States entered the war I joined the Naval Reserve and spent ninety days in a Columbia University dormitory learning to be a naval officer.

In the United States we spend millions of dollars on sports because it promotes teamwork discipline and the experience of learning to make great progress in small increments. Learning to play music does all this and more.

I make personal appearances around the country. I'm starting a book tour now and I may be coming to Toronto with the Learning Annex which I'm doing all through the United States so that may come up just before Christmas.

Since its founding in 1854 Penn State has proven to be a leading institution of higher learning.

I grew up in the southern United States in a city which at that time during the late '40's and early '50's was the most segregated city in the country and in a sense learning how to oppose the status quo was a question of survival.

In the end my pursuit of the elusive New York State driver's license became about much more than a divorced woman's learning to drive for the first time.

I've seen a lot of the United States having stayed in so many different cities and towns for work. It's such a strange and fascinating country and instead of learning about it through a textbook I would rather discover its history and traditions and institutions through fiction and nonfiction writers.

It disturbs me when Obama says in the State of the Union address that he wants to make dropping out of school at 18 illegal because people learn differently and before there are forms of learning for every type of person in the world we shouldn't be condemned for leaving.

In the same way that we need statesmen to spare us the abjection of exercising power we need scholars to spare us the abjection of learning.

The best way of learning to be an independent sovereign state is to be an independent sovereign state.

Party domination and State leadership are concepts incompatible with one another.

At an unprecedented time with the worst attack ever on our soil our President displayed extraordinary determination leadership and resolve when history was thrust upon him and the United States.

The United States is the most innovative country in the world. But our leadership could slip away if we fail to properly fund primary secondary and higher education.

One of the things about leadership is that you've got to show up. And if you want to be president of the United States you've got to make a case to the American people that Barack Obama needs to be dismissed from his position.
