“In representing criminal defendants - especially guilty ones - it is often necessary to take the offensive against the government: to put the government on trial for its misconduct. In law, as in sports, the best defense is often a good offense. The courtroom oath - to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth - is applicable only to witnesses... because the American justice system is built on a foundation of not telling the whole entire truth.” WholeGovernmentLawSportsJusticeTruth IsBuiltFoundationDefenseCriminalsTrialsGuiltyWitnessTelling The TruthOffensiveOffenseOathIn-lawsRepresentingJustice SystemCourtroomWhole TruthNothing But The TruthMisconductAmerican Justice Author:Alan Dershowitz
“We got to stop people. We go ahead and we score 100 points every night, but we give up more. Our whole thing was, we know we can score, and we have to start having some kind of fun on the defensive end. Everybody want to play offense. Not too many people want to play defense. Defense is ego, pride, and that's the way we've been coming out, just taking the challenge.

“In football the object is for the quarterback, also known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his receivers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line. In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! I hope I'll be safe at home!” IfsLongUseHomeSportsLinesKnownEnemyFieldsObjectsFootballWallSafeBaseballDefenseHolesBombsSpiteTargetMarchTerritoryTroopsHittingBulletsAssaultAccuracyQuarterbackReceiverShotgunsBlitz Author:George Carlin
