Lysander Spooner: “And none but corrupt and rotten congresses and courts would ever think of practising such a cheat.”

Juries would refuse to enforce a tax against a man who had never agreed to pay it.

But there is no reason why a judge should have the power of punishing, for contempt, any more than for any other offence.

It would also be making them consent to what they regard as the destruction of their own rights.

Proud from victory, and with their swords in their hands, would they surrender their liberties to a private man?
