In 1998, I founded the American Center for Law and Justice, probably the premier public interest law firm in America defending the rights of believers.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I want there to be a real partnership between the Department of Justice in Washington and U.S. attorneys.
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.
I worked at a law firm in New York very briefly.
I firmly believe in the rule of law as the foundation for all of our basic rights.
America was founded to be a beacon of liberty, particularly religious liberty. The framers of our Constitution sought to preserve religious liberty to such an extent that they made it the first right protected in the Bill of Rights.
I was endorsed by many corporations to work with their people. Since I had several hundred successful case histories, I realized that it was really valuable and everybody should have access to the information, so I started teaching seminars to groups of people.
American government was founded on a belief and a faith in God and in doing what is right and just.
I shall support the law, for the law gentlemen, is the firm and solid basis of civil society, the guardian of liberty, the protection of the innocent, the terror of the guilty, and the scourge of the wicked.
I was on the state board of directors of the American Civil Liberties Union.
I was raised - professionally - in the Public Integrity Section. I started in 1976, stayed there for 12 years. It was formed after Watergate by then-head of the Criminal Division Dick Thornburgh, who ultimately became Attorney General.
