Attorneys general, district attorneys, and federal prosecutors have a responsibility to separate their politics from their law enforcement powers.

Richard Grenell

Cleverly assorted scraps of spurious science are inculcated upon the children to prove necessity of law; obedience to the law is made a religion; moral goodness and the law of the masters are fused into one and the same divinity. The historical hero of the schoolroom is the man who obeys the law, and defends it against rebels.

Peter Kropotkin

Necessity knows no law.

Aesop

The necessity of war, which among human actions is the most lawless, hath some kind of affinity with the necessity of law.

Maryanne Trump Barry

Necessity knows no law except to conquer.

It's a question that defense attorneys answer for themselves by not addressing.

David E. Kelley

Fact I know; and Law I know; but what is this Necessity, save an empty shadow of my own mind's throwing?

Thomas Huxley

I like Barack Obama as a person. He's articulate, he knows sports, his brother-in-law's a coach. He always has the athletes to the White House. But I don't know about some of his policies and some of these people in Congress.

Pete Rose

The Difficulty lies, in finding out an exact Measure but eat for Necessity, not Pleasure, for Lust knows not where Necessity ends.

Benjamin Franklin

You have plaintiffs attorneys, you have defense attorneys. So there is no unified bar that will protect a particular judge who has made a courageous decision that's unpopular.

Anthony Kennedy

What do we do if we pass a law that says this has to be done, and then China says, oh, well, OK, we're going to pass that law too and we want access to every iPhone in China?
