If we are to keep our democracy, there must be one commandment: 'Thou shalt not ration justice.'
Thou shalt not ration justice.
The bedrock of our democracy is the rule of law and that means we have to have an independent judiciary, judges who can make decisions independent of the political winds that are blowing.
Democracy is not something you put away for ten years, and then in the 11th year you wake up and start practicing again. We have to begin to learn to rule ourselves again.
Without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure.
Democracy not only requires equality but also an unshakable conviction in the value of each person, who is then equal.
Man's capacity for justice makes democracy possible, but man's inclination to injustice makes democracy necessary.
If we do not maintain justice, justice will not maintain us.
Unfortunately, the true force which propels our endless political disputes, our constant struggles for political advantage, is often not our burning concern for democracy, it is often of our dedication to the principle of the rule of law.
We shouldn't waste any more time in making sure that democracy is properly rooted in our political life and the supremacy of the law becomes an integral part of our state's structure.
