Thomas Jefferson

Eric Holder

Judicial excellence requires an understanding that the law is more than an intellectual game and more than a mental exercise.

Conservative voters increasingly understand that the one legacy a president can leave is his judicial appointments.
Paul Weyrich

In the rare event that the Supreme Court refuses to play along [...] there is always a perfectly legal, extra-constitutional, quasi-legislative, quasi-executive, quasi-judicial, independent regulatory commission or executive agency to kill off or override constitutional protections.
Ilana Mercer

The negative penalties of the Old Testament case laws were not harsh but just, not a threat to society but rather the necessary judicial foundation of civic freedom… the Old Testament was harsh on criminals because it was soft on victims.
Gary North

I personally think that we should be extremely reluctant to use a recall mechanism for an unpopular decision simply because of the message it sends about judicial independence.
Deborah Rhode
Image
It is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is...If two laws conflict with each other, the courts must decide on the operation of each...This is of the very essence of judicial duty.
John Marshall
Image
If there are such things as political axioms, the propriety of the judicial power of a government being co-extensive with its legislative, may be ranked among the number.
Alexander Hamilton
Image
If we are giving judicial benefits to one part, we should give them to the other part as well.
Juan Manuel Santos
Image
No judicial nomination should answer any question that is designed to reveal how the nominee will rule on any issue that could come before the court.
Jon Kyl
Image
On the one hand we want to preserve the integrity of the judicial branch, and we want to talk about judicial independence, and how damaging and dangerous it is when Donald Trump calls out Judge [Gonzalo] Curiel. And at the same time, at the end of the day, judges work for us and we can recall them and we can impeach them.
