Lyndon Johnson actually said...

"This system has endured--archaic, unjust, and virtually unexamined--ever since the Judiciary Act of 1789."

"A man, regardless of his financial status--shall not needlessly be detained . . . when detention serves neither the ends of justice nor the public interest."

"The principal purpose of bail is to insure that an accused person will return for trial, if he is released after arrest."

"We can begin to insure that defendants are considered as individuals--and not as dollar signs."
