More From Learned Hand

I often wonder whether we do not rest our hopes too much upon constitutions, upon law and upon courts. these are false hopes, believe me, these are false hopes. liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it. while it lies there it needs no constitution, no law, no courts to save it.

Racists violate the principle of equality by giving greater weight to the interests of members of their own race when there is a clash between their interests and the interests of those of another race. sexists violate the principle of equality by favoring the interests of their own sex. similarly, speciesists allow the interests of their own species to override the greater interests of members of other species. the pattern is identical in each case.

The supreme court is about the constitution. it is about constitutionality. it is about the law. at its bear simplest, it's about the law. it is not about the democrat party agenda. because that's what it's become. the whole judiciary has become that because that's the kind of people they have put on various courts as judges, and every liberal justice on the supreme court is a social justice warrior first and a judge of the law second. and if they get one more, then they will have effectively corrupted the supreme court.

Freedom Men Mind
My paramount object in this struggle is to save the union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. if i could save the union without freeing any slave i would do it, and if i could save it by freeing all the slaves i would do it; and if i could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone i would also do that. what i do about slavery, and the colored race, i do because i believe it helps to save the union; and what i forbear, i forbear because i do not believe it would help to save the union.
