More From Franklin D. Roosevelt

Class warfare always sounds good. taking action against the rich and the powerful and making 'em pay for what they do, it always sounds good. but that's not the job of the supreme court. the supreme court standing on the side of the american people? the supreme court adjudicates the law. the supreme court determines the constitutionality of things and other things. the supreme court's gotten way out of focus, in my opinion.
Powerful People Focus
The notion that the supreme court comes up with the ruling and that automatically subjects the two other branches to following it defies everything there is about the three equal branches of government. the supreme court is not the supreme branch. and for god's sake, it isn't the supreme being. it is the supreme court.
Government Two Three
The supreme court is about the constitution. it is about constitutionality. it is about the law. at its bear simplest, it's about the law. it is not about the democrat party agenda. because that's what it's become. the whole judiciary has become that because that's the kind of people they have put on various courts as judges, and every liberal justice on the supreme court is a social justice warrior first and a judge of the law second. and if they get one more, then they will have effectively corrupted the supreme court.
Party Warrior Justice
I often wonder whether we do not rest our hopes too much upon constitutions, upon law and upon courts. these are false hopes, believe me, these are false hopes. liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it. while it lies there it needs no constitution, no law, no courts to save it.
Lying Believe Heart
My paramount object in this struggle is to save the union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. if i could save the union without freeing any slave i would do it, and if i could save it by freeing all the slaves i would do it; and if i could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone i would also do that. what i do about slavery, and the colored race, i do because i believe it helps to save the union; and what i forbear, i forbear because i do not believe it would help to save the union.
War Believe Struggle
Here is what hillary clinton said. crooked hillary said, "you know, when we talk about the supreme court" - fake smile - "it really raises the central issue in this election, namely what kind of country are we going to be." well, she's right about that, actually, but not in the way she means. "what kind of opportunities will we provide our citizens." the supreme court's not about that. supreme court is the law, and their cases are not about opportunities being provided for our citizens.

The immediate future is going to be tragic for all of us unless we find a way of making the vast educational resources of this country serve the true purpose of education, truth and justice.

Politics is not worrying this country one-tenth as much as where to find a parking space.

Distributed intelligence is the key to the advancement of human civilization. dictatorships, communist countries, monarchies in the past all eventually collapsed because of their inefficiency in moving information.
Country Moving Past
Anything from making a mistake on an experiment that would ruin some scientist on earth's experiment - career, potentially - to doing something wrong with the satellite that a country was depending on for its communications, to making some mistake that could actually cost you and the crew either a mission or your lives. so there is a lot of pressure that's put on every astronaut to just make sure that he or she understands exactly what to do, exactly when to do it, and is trained and prepared to carry it out.
