Men Judging Causes

More From James Madison

No man is allowed to be a judge in his own cause; because his interest would certainly bias his judgment, and, not improbably, corrupt his integrity. with equal, nay with greater reason, a body of men are unfit to be both judges and parties at the same time.

The reasonableness of the agency of the national courts in cases in which the state tribunals cannot be supposed to be impartial, speaks for itself. no man ought certainly to be a judge in his own cause, or in any cause in respect to which he has the least interest or bias.
Men Agency Judging
Human judgment of human actions is true and void , that is to say, first true and then void.... the judgment of the word is true, the judgment in itself is void.... only he who is a party can really judge, but as a party he cannot judge. hence it follows that there is no possibility of judgment in the world, only a glimmer of it.

No matter how vast your knowledge or how modest, it is your own mind that has to acquire it. it is only with your own knowledge that you can deal. it is only your own knowledge that you can claim to possess or ask others to consider. your mind is your only judge of truth - and if others dissent from your verdict, reality is the court of final appeal. nothing but a man's mind can perform that complex, delicate, crucial process of identification which is thinking. nothing can direct the process but his own judgment. nothing can direct his judgment but his moral integrity.

It's ok if we wiretap osama bin laden. i want to know what he's planning - obviously not him nowadays, but that kind of thing. i don't care if it's a pope or a bin laden. as long as investigators must go to a judge - an independent judge, a real judge, not a secret judge - and make a showing that there's probable cause to issue a warrant, then they can do that. and that's how it should be done.

I equals all of the ifs added up over time. the ifs, those are the possibilities; that's infinite for all of us. every day there are just millions of them. time, that's finite for each of us; there is no question there. maybe if you divide choices by the amount of time you have, the real i can emerge, depending upon those choices.

Growing maturity is marked by the increasing liberties we take with our travelling... we made the discovery (some people never make it) that real books can be taken on a journey and that hours of golden reading can so be added to its other delights.

The gospel is like a caged lion,' said the great baptist preacher charles spurgeon. 'it does not need to be defended, it simply needs to be let out of it's cage' today, the cage is our accommodation to the secular/sacred split that reduces christianity to a matter of personal belief. to unlock the cage, we need to become utterly convinced that, as francis schaeffer said, christianity is not merely religious truth, it is total truth- truth about the whole of reality.
