The Framers of the Constitution wisely understood that constitutional principles must not be sacrificed on the altar of political appeasement.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The framers of our Constitution meant we were to have freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.
In a constitutional democracy the moral content of law must be given by the morality of the framer or legislator, never by the morality of the judge.
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
Economic freedom cannot be sacrificed if political freedom is to be preserved.
The ultimate touchstone of constitutionality is the Constitution itself and not what we have said about it.
The Constitution shall never be construed... to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.
Our Constitution recognises no other power than that of persuasion, for enforcing religious observances.
Power's not what the Constitution was about.
I submit, on the other hand, most respectfully, that the Constitution not merely does not affirm that principle, but, on the contrary, altogether excludes it.
This Constitution does not reflect the thoughts, hopes and aspirations of ordinary people. It does nothing for jobs or economic growth and widens further still the democratic deficit.
