Great men are almost always bad men." ~ Lord Acton, in a letter to Bishop Mandell Creighton, 1887. </BLOCKQUOTE></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.jail4judges.org/"><BLOCKQUOTE><A name="JeffersonIndependenceQuote"></A><SPAN class="style4">"The constitution, on this hypothesis, is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary, which they may <A href="http://www.jail4judges.org/JNJ_Library/2005/2005-11-29A.html" set="yes">twist and shape</A> into any form they please. It should be remembered, as an axiom of eternal truth in politics, that whatever power in any government is independent, is absolute also; in theory only, at first, while the spirit of the people is up, but in practice, as fast as that relaxes. Independence can be trusted nowhere but with the people in mass. They are inherently independent of all but moral law." ~ Thomas Jefferson, letter to Judge Spencer Roane, September 6, 1819.

Lipscomb, vol. 15, p. 213 (1904).</SPAN></BLOCKQUOTE></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/464738A8-EA7D-4FE4-90BB-B92C33067B46/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
