It is always a delicate matter, when a friend or acquaintance becomes president.

I have good friends who are politicians on both sides.

I'm a lawmaker, but I really don't like laws.

What you do as president has consequences.

Go before the people with your example, and be laborious in their affairs.

Anyway, so here I was caught between Johnson on the one side, who was my leader, I was his whip, and here was my dear friend, personal friend, Kennedy, and they're going to go into my state and ruin it. What am I going to do?

Whenever you put a man on the Supreme Court he ceases to be your friend.

Learn the Constitution. Then when someone wants to be elected, hold their feet to the fire and make them follow it because that's what we need to get back to. It works so well when we follow it.

I just want everybody to follow the law.
