as a highly decorated military officer, an aggressive attorney
general, an effective senator, a wise statesman, and now a
generous private citizen.” She said his “noble career has
been distinguished by an unwavering commitment to the rule
of law and all it stands for: fairness, equality, justice,
opportunity, and respect for the dignity of every human being.”
