Founding Father Quote of the Day

If [the legislature] will positively enact a thing to be done, the judges are not at liberty to reject it, for that were to set the judicial power above that of the legislature, which should be subversive of all government.

Sir William Blackstone
(Recognized authority on the establishment of American common law)
