James Beck: “To protect these even against the will of a majority, however large, the judiciary was given unprecedented powers.”

It did not believe that the State was omnipotent or infallible, and yet it proclaimed its authority within wise and just limits.

Its protection should be given to those of superior skill and diligence, who ask the due rewards of such superiority.

The tendency of group morality to standardize man--and thus reduce all men to the dead level of an average mediocrity--is one that the law should combat.

That vision still remains as an ideal with the American people and still leads them to ever-higher achievements, for in all the mad changes of a frenzied hour, they have not yet lost faith in or love for the Constitution of the Fathers!
