"All the rights secured to the citizens under the Constitution are worth nothing, and a
mere bubble, except guaranteed to them
by an independent and virtuous Judiciary."

Saturday's Quote
As President Obama contemplates a replacement for retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephens, he would do well to keep in mind these words from his predecessor Andrew Jackson (1767-1945):
"All the rights secured to the citizens under
the Constitution are worth nothing, and a
mere bubble, except guaranteed to them
by an independent and virtuous Judiciary."
"All the rights secured to the citizens under the Constitution are worth nothing, and a
mere bubble, except guaranteed to them
by an independent and virtuous Judiciary."
