Jim's Quote of the Day:
"The very purpose of a Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects
from the vicissitudes of political controversy, to place them beyond the reach
of majorities and officials and to establish them as legal principles to be
applied by the courts. One's right to life, liberty, and property, to free
speech, a free press, freedom of worship and assembly, and other fundamental
rights may not be submitted to vote; they depend on the outcome of no elections." -
Justice Robert H. Jackson (1892-1954), U. S. Supreme Court Justice, West
Virginia Board of Education vs. Barnette, 1943
