In fact, a fundamental interdependence exists between the personal right to liberty and the personal right to property.

The Court today holds the Congress may say that some of the poor are too poor even to go bankrupt. I cannot agree.

The 4th Amendment and the personal rights it secures have a long history. At the very core stands the right of a man to retreat into his own home and there be free from unreasonable governmental intrusion.

For me this is not something that can be swept under the rug and forgotten in the interest of forced Sunday togetherness.

We are concerned here only with the imposition of capital punishment for the crime of murder, and when a life has been taken deliberately by the offender, we cannot say that the punishment is invariably disproportionate to the crime. It is an extreme sanction suitable to the most extreme of crimes.

A person's mere propinquity to others independently suspected of criminal activity does not give rise to probable cause to search that person.

Fairness is what justice really is.
