The right of an individual to conduct intimate relationships in the intimacy of his or her own home seems to me to be the heart of the Constitution's protection of privacy.
Harry A. Blackmun
One of the things I learned in law school is that there's nothing wrong or undesirable or dishonorable or destructive about amending the Constitution.
Adrian Cronauer
The Constitution is a document that should only be amended with great caution.
Carl Levin
The concept of neutrality can lead to a brooding and pervasive devotion to the secular and a passive, or even active, hostility to the religious. Such results are not only not compelled by the Constitution, but, it seems to me, are prohibited by it.
Arthur J. Goldberg
We came to say, the Quran is our constitution, we are committed to God and his holy book. God willing, should they try to carry out their crime against the Quran, God will tear their state apart and they will become God's lesson to anyone who tries to desecrate the holy book.
Ismail Haniyeh
No person who denies the existence of a supreme being shall hold any office under this Constitution.
Michael Newdow
Owing to the difficulty of dealing with substances of high molecular weight we are still a long way from having determined the chemical characteristics and the constitution of proteins, which are regarded as the principal con-stituents of living organisms.
Karl Landsteiner
First of all, there's no mention of political parties in the Constitution, so you begin American history with not only no political conventions but also no parties.
Michael Beschloss
The United States Supreme Court has repeatedly held that marriage is one of the most fundamental rights that we have as Americans under our Constitution.
Ted Olson
I wish the press were paying more attention to the erosion of the Constitution and the slippery slope that we're getting into, by giving up the right of the Congress to talk about when and how and where we go to war.
Barbara Lee
The Court is most vulnerable and comes nearest to illegitimacy when it deals with judge-made constitutional law having little or no cognizable roots in the language or design of the Constitution.
Byron White
They had no right, as it seems to me, to prosecute me in these Halls; nor have you the right in law or under the Constitution, as I respectfully submit, to take jurisdiction over offenses committed against them.
Preston Brooks
Your purpose, then, plainly stated, is, that you will destroy the Government, unless you be allowed to construe and enforce the Constitution as you please, on all points in dispute between you and us.
George Haven Putnam
The pursuit of happiness is in our Constitution. We're all entitled to have the best we can.
Loretta Swit
No power on earth is greater than a mind and soul reawakened. Our Constitution begins 'we the people', not 'us the government'.
Cal Thomas
My role isn't to be politically smart. My role is to do what's right under the constitution. And if that's politically unpopular, so be it.
Rose Bird
Be assured, fellow citizens, that in a democracy it is the laws that guard the person of the citizen and the constitution of the state, whereas the despot and the oligarch find their protection in suspicion and in armed guards.
Aeschines
If the Constitution is worth anything, if the Declaration of Independence is worth anything, if the boys who died on the field of battle did not die in vain, fair employment practices are correct and necessary.
Dennis Chavez
I don't believe there is a separation of church and state. I think the Constitution is very clear. The only separation is that there will not be a government church.
Tom DeLay
It is becoming more widely acknowledged that it is better to have a good constitution than not having a perfect one.
Romano Prodi
