Potent Quotables

In the course of linking here to all of last week’s newspaper stories about Booker, I suggested it would be interesting to assemble in one place all the quotes from judges that appear in the articles.  One of my terrific students did me two better: she assembled quotes not only from judges, but also from prosecutors and defense attorneys, addressing last week’s remarkable developments.

I have provided below for downloading three documents with all these quotes.  Each set, and especially all three collectively, make for very interesting reading.  As before, I encourage readers to use the comments to spotlight quotes that seem especially notable.

UPDATE:  How Appealing provides a set of the Sunday articles and editorial about the Booker ruling here, although I did not see any quotes that jumped off the page of the articles linked there.
