Books: --------------------------------------------------------------------Our safety, our liberty depends on preserving the Constitution of the United States as our fathers made it inviolate. We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts — not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution -Abraham Lincoln--------------------------------------------------------------------------At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, If it ever reaches us. It must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and it's finisher - Abraham Lincoln----------------------------------------------------------------------If by the mere force of numbers a majority should deprive a minority of any clearly written constitutional right, it might, in a moral point of view, justify revolution — certainly would if such a right were a vital one. -Abraham Lincoln-----------------------------------------------------------------There comes a time when your silence becomes betrayal. - Martin Luther King Jr.-----------------------------------------------------------------Today, we need a nation of Minutemen, citizens who are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as the basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom. -John F. Kennedy-----------------------------------------------------------------Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. -John F. Kennedy -----------------------------------------------------------------The only way Governments can induce citizens to surrender their rights is convincing them that by doing so, they will gain a measure of safety in exchange -Thomas Jefferson-----------------------------------------------------------------When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When people fear the government there is tyranny. - Thomas Jefferson-----------------------------------------------------------------I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility, against every form of tyranny, over the mind of man. -Thomas Jefferson-----------------------------------------------------------------Enlighten people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day. -Thomas Jefferson-----------------------------------------------------------------If the American people ever allow the banks to control issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers occupied. - Thomas Jefferson -----------------------------------------------------------------The history of liberty is a history of limitation of government power, not the increase of it. -Woodrow Wilson-----------------------------------------------------------------Liberty has never come from the government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of it. The history of liberty is a history of resistance. -Woodrow Wilson-----------------------------------------------------------------I had come to an entirely erroneous conclusion which shows, my dear Watson, how dangerous it always is to reason from insufficient data. - Arthur Conan Doyle-----------------------------------------------------------------

Hobbies: To consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions [is] a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy. Our judges are as honest as other men and not more so. They have with others the same passions for party, for power, and the privilege of their corps. Their maxim is boni judicis est ampliare jurisdictionem [good justice is broad jurisdiction], and their power the more dangerous as they are in office for life and not responsible, as the other functionaries are, to the elective control. The constitution has erected no such single tribunal, knowing that to whatever hands confided, with the corruptions of time and party, its members would become despots. It has more wisely made all the departments co-equal and co-sovereign within themselves. - Thomas Jefferson to W. Jarvis, 1820
