To Court "I know of no duty of the Court which it is more important to observe, and no powers of the Court which it is more important to enforce, than its power to keeping public bodies within their rights. The moment public bodies exceed their rights they do so to the injury and oppression of private individuals." Robert v. Gwyfai District Council (1899)

"A court which yields to the popular will thereby license itself to practice despotism, for there can be no assurance that it will not on another occasion indulge its own will."

American Federation of Labor v. American Sash and Door (1949)

"Laws are a dead letter without courts to expound and define their true meaning and operation."

Alexander Hamilton (1788)
