I don't have any doubts either about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Perhaps some more should be added to the list, but I don't have the slightest doubt about human rights.

Human rights is something that wasn't hard to be inspired to write about because there have been so many violations of those rights.

I like the idea of amending the 1964 Civil Rights Act to include a ban of discrimination based on sexual orientation. It would be simple. It would be straightforward.

The issue of human rights is one of the most fundamental human issues and also one of the most sensitive and controversial.

To be in a situation where you have no rights whatsoever is something I wish everybody could experience. People's attitudes would change. It would be a better place.

I favor the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and it must be enforced at gunpoint if necessary.

Can any of you seriously say the Bill of Rights could get through Congress today? It wouldn't even get out of committee.

Who gets to decide the robotic bill of rights? It's going to be controversial.

The United States has held out against taking part in any of the world consensus that there should be a court of human rights or that there should be an international court of criminal justice.
