These people have elevated audacity to symphonic and operatic levels. The Florida Supreme Court relied on new law to resolve the election dispute down there.
History will record that the Citizens United decision is one of the worst in the history of our country.
The Supreme Court of the United States, in a recent case, has, by a decision of seven to two of the Judges, established as law what our Southern statesmen have been repeating daily for many years on the floors of Congress, that the whole action of this Government on the subject of slavery, for more than a quarter of a century, from the initiation of the Missouri Restriction in 1822, to the California Compromise in 1850, has been all beyond the limits of the Constitution; was without justifiable authority; and that the whole mass should be now proclaimed null and void, and that slavery is guaranteed by the constitutional compact.
There were two Republican members of the Supreme Court—and God will reward them—who actually took the position that all votes should have been counted
In the decision of the 2000 Election.
The issue of gay marriage has reached the Supreme Court and observers are analyzing every detail to predict how each justice will vote. Experts say Chief Justice John Roberts is likely to rule in favor of gay marriage based on the fact that he spent Tuesday's hearings watching the Tony Award nominations.
I cannot stand people who disagree with me on the issue of Roe v. Wade... which I believe is about the proper way to cross a lake.
I did not do anything wrong as a governor, even if you accept the verdict as it is, it doesn't indicate that.
When a federal court issues an order against enforcement of a government policy, the ruling traditionally applies only to the plaintiff in that case.
The court finds everyone to be in contempt (including himself :-), and orders everyone sentenced to five years hard labor. (Working on Perl, of course.)
I long for the day that "Roe v. Wade" is sent to the ash heap of history.
In the legislative arena, especially when the country is closely divided, compromises tend to be the rule the day. But when judges rule this or that policy unconstitutional, there's little room for compromise: One side must win, the other must lose.
The good judge is not he who does hair-splitting justice to every allegation, but who, aiming at substantial justice, rules something intelligible of the guidance of suitors.
But the courts have dismissed the lawsuits against me and Lee Brown.
I take it that the judgment is an essential point in every conviction, let the punishment be fixed or not.
I have a pretty good record of winning in court.
I think the Constitution has been upheld. I think they made the right decision.
It's been sanctioned by the courts, and I accept that.
Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson says he believes that same ruling that stopped the first version of the ban should still apply to the second version of the ban because it is basically the same ban. It is basically the same policy.
Stop-and-frisk was found to be unconstitutional and, in part, because it was ineffective. It did not do what it needed to do.
The trust saga is full of “scandals, deception, dirty tricks and outright villainy,” says the presiding judge.
If you acquit me, you will give me great pleasure. If you condemn me you will do me honour!
The Supreme Court dealt a huge blow, overturning a 100-year-old precedent that basically corporations couldn’t give directly to political campaigns. And everyone is up in arms because they don’t like it. The Federal Election Commission can’t do anything about it.
So my attorneys brought litigation in the U.S. federal courts. The judge ruled in our favor.
A precedent embalms a principle.
