Famous quotes containing the words act and/or judiciary:

    “Every day begins with an act of courage and hope: getting out of bed.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “The judiciary has fallen to a very low state in this country. I think your part of the country has suffered especially. The federal judges of the South are a disgrace to any country, and I’ll be damned if I put any man on the bench of whose character and ability there is the least doubt.”
    —William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
