I come from a communist country. We learned nothing of lawyers, nothing about rights.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Lawyers are for only what is right.
To be honest, sometimes you have to know your rights.
You can't fight for your rights if you don't know what they are.
I've always been very interested in the struggle for human rights, not just here but abroad, and I wanted to be an inside player in that struggle. I wanted to make the laws reflect our ideals and ideas in this democracy that is America.
You can't learn everything you need to know legally.
I am passionate about human rights.
The Bill of Rights isn't some legalistic fine print. It was written to make our lives freer, more prosperous, and happier. By forsaking it, America has become no better than any other country in the world.
I was an American citizen, and I had as many rights as anyone else.
I'm a lawyer. The right to life is important.
I'm pretty political when it comes to human rights and things like that.
