Elena Kagan Quotes

I’ve led a school whose faculty and students examine and discuss and debate every aspect of our law and legal system. And what I’ve learned most is that no one has a monopoly on truth or wisdom. I’ve learned that we make progress by listening to each other, across every apparent political or ideological divide Picture Quote #1

It is absolutely true that I have served in two Democratic administrations. You can tell something from me and my political views from that Picture Quote #1

To have the opportunity to lead the Solicitor General’s office is the honor of a lifetime. As you know, this is an office with a long and rich tradition, not only of extraordinary legal skill but also of extraordinary professionalism and integrity. That is due, in large measure, to the people who have led it Picture Quote #1

The Supreme Court, of course, has the responsibility of ensuring that our government never oversteps its proper bounds or violates the rights of individuals. But the Court must also recognize the limits on itself and respect the choices made by the American people Picture Quote #1

It’s not that there are no masters, but that there are many. And the job of the solicitor general is to balance those masters and to accommodate them all, each in their proper places, wisely and well and in so doing to represent the people of the United States Picture Quote #1

I owe a debt of gratitude to two other living Justices. Sandra Day O’Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg paved the way for me and so many other women in my generation.

I think the nine justices think the solicitor general is the 35th clerk Picture Quote #1

What my political views or my constitutional views are just doesn’t matter Picture Quote #1

My politics would be, must be, have to be, completely separate from my judgment Picture Quote #1

Perhaps most important, judges will have goals. And because this is so, judges will often try to mold and steer the law in order to promote certain ethical values and achieve certain social ends. Such activity is not necessarily wrong or invalid Picture Quote #1

It was a very cool thing to be a smart girl, as opposed to some other, different kind. And I think that made a great deal of difference to me growing up and in my life afterward Picture Quote #1

Law matters, because it keeps us safe, because it protects our most fundamental rights and freedoms, and because it is the foundation of our democracy Picture Quote #1

I think that if there are positions that you can’t argue... then the responsibility is probably to resign. If one’s own conscience is opposed to the requirements and responsibilities of the job, then it’s time to leave the job Picture Quote #1

I have no regrets. I don’t believe in looking back. What I am proudest of? Working really hard... and achieving as much as I could Picture Quote #1
