...Kindle is not cheap. With money being tight, it may be that older, affluent consumers are much more likely to spend $359 than the younger, unemployed people who will graduate from college this year.

...Talk is cheap. There's a difference between the theoretical discussion of the law and its practice. I take very seriously the fact that I have people's economic interests, liberty, and very lives in my hands." -Reflecting on his appointment to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
