No person who denies the existence of a supreme being shall hold any office under this Constitution.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We have never had a president of the United States or a nominee of a major party who was a Supreme Court law clerk.
But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist.
There are no insuperable constitutional difficulties.
No one can be considered untouchable on political grounds.
There can be no activist judges from any political party.
I do not believe any president can bind a successor president to give up his fundamental role as protector of the country.
The Constitution has not greatly bothered any wartime President.
A constitution that is made for all nations is made for none.
There is no person in this room whose basic rights are not involved in any successful defiance to the carrying out of court orders.
No one supposes that the government of the United States is supreme, beyond the sphere plainly defined by the constitution: Neither does any one deny that the State is supreme within its proper sphere of action.
