More From Dan Quayle

The constitution is not a law, but it empowers the people to make laws... the constitution tells us what shall not be a lawful tender... the legislature has ceded up to us the privilege of enacting such laws as are not inconsistent with the constitution of the united states... the different states, and even congress itself, have passed many laws diametrically contrary to the constitution of the united states.

Laws, it is said, are for the protection of the people. it's unfortunate that there are no statistics on the number of lives that are clobbered yearly as a result of laws: outmoded laws; laws that found their way onto the books as a result of ignorance, hysteria or political haymaking; antilife laws; biased laws; laws that pretend that reality is fixed and nature is definable; laws that deny people the right to refuse protection. a survey such as that could keep a dozen dull sociologists out of mischief for months.

Laws, in their most general signification, are the necessary relations arising from the nature of things. in this sense all beings have their laws: the deity his laws, the material world its laws, the intelligences superior to man their laws, the beasts their laws, man his laws.

State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to congress. ... inspection laws, quarantine laws, health laws of every description, as well as laws for regulating the internal commerce of a state, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c., are component parts of this mass. no direct general power over these objects is granted to congress, and, consequently, they remain subject to state legislation.

The sovereignty of the states is the language of the confederacy and not the language of the constitution. the latter contains the emphatic words. this constitution and the laws of the united states which shall be made in pursuance thereof and all treaties made or which shall be made under the authority of the united states, shall be the supreme law of the land and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding

[t]he constitution ought to be the standard of construction for the laws, and that wherever there is an evident opposition, the laws ought to give place to the constitution. but this doctrine is not deducible from any circumstance peculiar to the plan of convention, but from the general theory of a limited constitution.

Similar Quotes

There is no such thing as equality, other than of opportunity and before the law. but there is no equality of what's gonna happen to you when you engage or pursue your opportunity, and there's no guarantee that's what's gonna happen to you once you have your equality before the law. there is no equality of outcome.

The law is only one of several imperfect and more or less external ways of defending what is better in life against what is worse. by itself, the law can never create anything better. establishing respect for the law does not automatically ensure a better life for that, after all, is a job for people and not for laws and institutions.

In a number of cases dissenting opinions have in time become the law.

I don't care whether the person is guilty or not guilty. it's not my business to establish guilt or innocence. it's a court of law that does that and a jury does that, but not me.
