Justice William O. Douglas (1898-1980): "When a legislature undertakes to
proscribe the exercise of a citizen's constitutional rights it acts lawlessly
and the citizen can take matters into his own hands and proceed on the basis
that such a law is no law at all."
Economist Walter E. Williams: "In Philadelphia, where I grew up, students
who posed severe disciplinary problems were removed. ... Whether or not there
are resources to help them is not the issue. The critical issue is whether they
should be permitted to make education impossible for students who are capable of
learning. It's a policy question similar to: What do you do when you have both
drunken drivers and sober drivers on the road? The first order of business is to
get the drunken drivers off the road. Whether there are resources available to
help the drunks is, at best, a secondary issue."
Comedian Argus Hamilton: "Brooklyn Nets' Jason Collins became the first
openly gay player to play in the NBA Sunday, making sports history. The media
went wild. Being a Democrat means believing that Jason Collins' sex life is
everybody's business while insisting Bill Clinton's sex life is nobody's
business."
