We would be false to our trust if we allowed the time it takes to give effect to constitutional rights to be used as the very reason for taking away those rights.
Frank Murphy
Image
I cannot interpret the constitution. Only the constitutional courts can interpret the constitution.
Joseph Kabila
Image
A rioter with a Molotov cocktail in his hands is not fighting for civil rights any more than a Klansman with a sheet on his back and mask on his face. They are both more or less what the law declares them: lawbreakers, destroyers of constitutional rights and liberties and ultimately destroyers of a free America.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Image
In our constitutional system, the extent of political controversies, including the protests, surrounding a given issue is utterly unrelated to the analysis of legality and should have no effect on any court.
David B. Rivkin
Image
It is each American's constitutional right to marry the person they love, no matter what state they inhabit. No state should decide who can marry and who cannot. Thanks to the tireless work of so many, someday soon this discrimination will end and every American will be able to enjoy their equal right to marriage.
Brad Pitt
Image
We don't need a constitutional amendment for kids to pray.
William J. Clinton
Image
The highest laws of the land (America) are not only the constitution and constitutional laws, but also contracts.
Hannah
Image
I want to protect our constitutional right to bear arms in a legal and thoughtful way with background checks that also don't want people to get shot and murdered, but it doesn't mean that you can't own a gun.
Kimberly Guilfoyle
Image
There are more than 30 states, who either by statute or constitutional amendment, have defined marriage as being between a man and a woman.
John Thune
Image
States, virtually all of them, have a constitutional requirement to operate on a balanced budget.
John Kitzhaber
Image
We all have the right to call each other names. Rudeness is a deeply held constitutional value.
Barney Frank
Image
Corruption, the most infallible symptom of constitutional liberty, was successfully practised honours, gifts, and immunities were offered and accepted as the price of an episcopal vote and the condemnation of the Alexandrian primate was artfully represented as the only measure which could restore the peace and union of the catholic church.
Edward Gibbon
Image
And what my constitutional values are are wholly irrelevant to the job, and so neither you nor anyone else will know what they are.
Elena Kagan
Image
Americans have only the dimmest notion of what their constitutional freedoms are - and what it took to get them...[and] the willingness to surrender what we're supposed to be fighting for is a recurring part of our history.
Nat Hentoff
Image
God was pitched out of forced schooling on his ear after WWII. This wasn't because of any constitutional proscription-there was none that anyone had been able to find in over a century and a half-but because the political state and corporate economy considered the Western spiritual tradition too dangerous a competitor. And it is.
John Taylor Gatto
Image
We are losing our living systems, social systems, cultural systems, governing systems, stability, and our constitutional health, and we're surrendering it all at the same time.
Paul Hawken
Image
For activists who want to preserve constitutional democracy, who don't believe in hereditary aristocracy, who believe that teachers ought to be able to deduct the 250 bucks of school supplies that they bring - they might spend their own money for in a classroom, then you still have time to fight a horrible piece of legislation.
Keith Ellison
Image
If by the mere force of numbers a majority should deprive a minority of any clearly written constitutional right, it might, in a moral point of view, justify revolution.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
In Madison's famous formulation in the Federalist, constitutional restrictions on government assume that we first enable the government to control the governed. If the public authorities can be outgunned or bribed, the vibrancy of the private sector can be pathological.
Stephen Holmes
Image
Liberty in the United States will never be reestablished so long as elites and masses alike look to the president to perform supernatural feats and therefore tolerate a virtually unlimited exercise of presidential power. Until we can restore limited, constitutional government in this country, God save us from great presidents.
Robert Higgs
Image
We have to yet really seriously debate the constitutional issues and whether or not we're willing to give up more freedom in order to have more security.
William Cohen
Image
I strongly support Roe v. Wade, which guarantees a constitutional right to a woman to make the most intimate, most difficult, in many cases, decisions about her health care that one can imagine.
Hillary Clinton
