Presidents routinely testify in criminal cases. You know, George W. Bush did it with Valerie Plame. Bill Clinton did it three times with Ken Starr. Gerald Ford did it with respect to a testimony about a Charles Manson follower. And Ronald Reagan, I think, is perhaps the most important precedent.Collection: Neal

Merrick Garland was the most qualified nominee, not just in our lifetimes but perhaps in the history of the United States Supreme Court. The chief judge of the D.C. Circuit for 20 years, the nation's second-highest court. Never once been overruled by the Court in his 20 years. He was extraordinary.Collection: Neal
The upshot of the Nixon tapes case was that any president is going to have an extremely hard time resisting a request from a law enforcement officer.Collection: Neal
In general, presidents do sit for interviews or respond to requests from prosecutors because they take their constitutional responsibility to faithfully execute the laws seriously, and running away from a prosecutor isn't consistent with faithfully executing the laws.Collection: Neal
I don't think that the Supreme Court really takes cases with kind of a theme in mind. They get about 10,000 requests a year, and what are called 'petitions for certiorari,' which are essentially 30 page documents which say, 'Hey, Court, hear my case.' And they don't take very many of them.Collection: Neal
The nice thing about the 'House of Cards' is they did 70 takes, so it was a little different. You only get one at the Supreme Court.Collection: Neal
Our constitutional system is defined by a balance between the public's need for transparency and the government's need to have a zone of secrecy around decision making. Both are important, yet they are mutually exclusive.Collection: Neal
Americans can tolerate some secrecy, particularly when it is rooted in protection of the public's interests. But when the claims appear to hide wrongdoing, they begin to curdle.Collection: Neal

Prosecutors use the conspiracy doctrine to punish two or more people who merely agree to commit a criminal act. They don't even have to actually perform the act; they just need to have agreed to do so.Collection: Neal
People tend to take more risks in groups than alone. For these reasons, the law has always treated conspiracy harshly.Collection: Neal
Everything having to do with President Trump and Russia, whether it is Mr. Trump's demand for an investigation into the investigation by the special counsel Robert Mueller, or whether Mr. Trump will testify, requires an answer to one essential background question: Can Mr. Mueller seek to indict the president?Collection: Neal
Unanimity is important because it signals that the justices can rise above their differences and interpret the law without partisanship.Collection: Neal
There is no doubt that dissents can serve a useful role by explaining when a justice thinks the majority has gone off the deep end. But unanimity also sends its own powerful message - one that might be eclipsed in the headlines by a sensational dissent but could ultimately have a greater impact.Collection: Neal
One thing we know about government after the New Deal is that checks and balances through whistle-blowing is terrible policy.Collection: Neal
Institutionalizing dissent in our agencies moves us toward a healthier democracy and helps fulfill our founders' vision.Collection: Neal

But my problem was that I did an hour for Comedy Central and nobody seemed to care.Collection: Neal
I do have weird habits when I'm directing, or even think as a director, like when I move a cup, I make sure to put it back in the exact right place.Collection: Neal
Here's the thing about standup directing: not that hard. As I said on Twitter one day, or maybe it was Instagram - sorry, I want to keep my platforms straight - it's essentially the same five shots over and over again. Seven if you're ambitious.Collection: Neal
The hardest part of comedy is writing the jokes, and the second-hardest part is telling the jokes. To me, everything else is significantly easier.Collection: Neal
Comedy's the only job I say where you wake up and you're like 'Can't do it!'Collection: Neal

I mean, no, I don't think anything is too far; you can make fun of anything.Collection: Neal
I'm not good at Reddit; I don't go to the most popular parts.Collection: Neal
There are things that start small on Reddit, then they sort of gather and become major trends. Having said that, I mostly stay on the Top 100 page, so it's mostly just pictures of a dog looking like Chewbacca.Collection: Neal
I love 'Frontline.' It's the best TV show in the history of television.Collection: Neal
I think the only op-ed columnist in 'The Times' - where I read all of his stuff - is Paul Krugman.Collection: Neal
