In The First Place, Lawyers Better Remember

The Eternal Struggle In The Law Between Constancy And Change Is Largely A Struggle Between History And Reason, Between Past Reason And Present Needs.

It Has Not Been Unknown That Judges Persist In Error To Avoid Giving The Appearance Of Weakness And Vacillation.

Liberty Of Thought Soon Shrivels Without Freedom Of Expression. Nor Can Truth Be Pursued In An Atmosphere Hostile To The Endeavor Or Under Dangers Which Are Hazarded Only By Heroes.

If One Man Can Be Allowed To Determine For Himself What Is Law, Every Man Can. That Means First Chaos, Then Tyranny. Legal Process Is An Essential Part Of The Democratic Process.

The Words Of The Constitution... Are So Unrestricted By Their Intrinsic Meaning Or By Their History Or By Tradition Or By Prior Decisions That They Leave The Individual Justice Free, If Indeed They Do Not Compel Him, To Gather Meaning Not From Reading The Constitution But From Reading Life.
