With the discrimination like it was, I was looking for somebody to break the color barrier.

Any time there (are) issues as it's (related) to discrimination, I think it's high profile, and it should not be tolerated.

Of course gender discrimination is a serious problem. It's a particular concern of mine and always has been. I grew up with three sisters, all of whom work outside the home. I married a lawyer who works outside the home. I have a young daughter who I hope will have all of the opportunities available to her without regard to any gender discrimination. There's no suggestion in anything that I've written of any resistance to the basic idea of full citizenship without regard to gender.

Someone who opposed efforts to remedy discrimination on the basis of sex and race, ... Someone who opposed measures to protect voting rights. ... The question now is, who is the real Judge Roberts?

Reports in matters of this world are many, and our resources of mind for the discrimination of them very insufficient

We cannot keep turning our backs on gay and lesbian Americans. I have fought too hard and too long against discrimination based on race and color not to stand up against discrimination based on sexual orientation.
