I believe that Congress possesses Constitutional power to abolish it.
In law, what plea so tainted and corrupt, But, being seasoned with a gracious voice, Obscures the show of evil.
Not to speak of that eye which pierces through all disguises and beholds everything as in the splendor of noon, such secrets of guilt are never safe from detection even by men.
The whole creation of God has neither nook nor corner where the guilty can bestow it and say it is safe.
