"It is evident to
all alike that a great democratic revolution is going on among us, but
all do not look at it in the same light. To some it appears to be novel
but accidental, and, as such, they hope it may still be checked; to others it
seems irresistible, because it is the most uniform, the most ancient, and the
most permanent tendency that is to be found in history. "Men will not accept truth at the hands of their enemies, and truth is seldom offered to them by their friends: for this reason I have spoken it." Alexis de Tocqueville |
"NEXT to
permanency in office, nothing can contribute more to the independence of the judges
than a fixed provision for their support....In the general course of human
nature, A POWER OVER A MAN'S SUBSISTENCE AMOUNTS TO A POWER OVER HIS WILL....
The plan of the convention accordingly has provided that the judges of the
United States 'shall at STATED TIMES receive for their services a
compensation which shall not be DIMINISHED during their continuance in
office.' Alexander Hamilton |
