The Pelican Brief by John Grisham
(exert)


        "The President stared at the carpet. After a moment he said, "I want to talk to Horton. These nominations must be perfect."
        "He's sent a short list of ten. Looks pretty good."
        "I want young conservative white men opposed to abortion, pornography, queers, gun control, racial quotas, and all that. I want judges who hate dope and criminals and are enthusiastic about the death penalty. Understand?"
