Growing up in politics I know that women decide all elections because we do all the work. ”

Education was the most important value in our home when I was growing up. People don't always realize that my parents shared a sense of intellectual curiosity and a love of reading and of history. ”

Sharing the holiday with other people, and feeling that you're giving of yourself, gets you past all the commercialism. ”

I think one of my father's great legacies is the people that he inspired and the generation that he inspired transformed America through civil rights, women's rights, equal justice, and they've passed that on to their children and grandchildren. ”

I feel that my father's greatest legacy was the people he inspired to get involved in public service and their communities, to join the Peace Corps, to go into space. And really that generation transformed this country in civil rights, social justice, the economy and everything. ”

The bedrock of our democracy is the rule of law and that means we have to have an independent judiciary, judges who can make decisions independent of the political winds that are blowing. ”

I have a lifelong devotion to public service. ”

I can see both sides of term limits, and I think, in different positions, term limits make more sense than in some others. ”

I've raised three kids. I'm a lawyer. I've written books on the Constitution. ”
