Lysander Spooner: “Human nature has no rights, in the presence of these infernal tribunals.”

The presumption clearly is that all were eligible.

There is no more absurdity in giving a jury a veto upon the laws, than there is in giving a veto to each of these other tribunals.

Practically speaking, no government knows any limits to its power, except the endurance of the people.

And the right is practically established only when and because the government, no longer exists to call it in question.
