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.

Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have a right to do and what is right to do.

The equal protection standard of the constitution has one clear and central meaning - it absolutely prohibits invidious [repugnant] discrimination by government...Under our Constitution, any official action that treats a person differently on account of his race or ethnic origin is inherently [by nature] suspect and presumptively [probably] invalid...Under the Constitution we have, one practice in which government may never engage in the practice of racism - not even "temporarily" and not even as an "experiment."

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

The dichotomy between personal liberties and property rights is a false one. Property does not have rights. People have rights.

Fairness is what justice really is.
