Donald Trump and the First Amendment, it's not a beautiful match; it's not a match made in heaven. Between the free speech rights that he has not defended and the freedom of the press, which he has not defended, it's problematic.

I want to see my kids for dinner. I want to put them down at night. I want to see their soccer games after school.

I see it as this: I send my kids to school not only to learn how to read and write and do math, but also to develop socially.

Im a soulless lawyer. Give me any opinion and I can argue it.

There are lots of people who are red-carpet types, but that's not me.

I was popular, and I enjoyed that, and my mother kept telling me I better take typing so I'd have something to fall back on. I didn't know what the future held, but once I got my law degree, I started to feel like, 'OK, I'm a serious person.'
