“The dignity and stability of government in all its branches, the morals of the people, and every blessing of society, depend so much upon an upright and skilful administration of justice, that the judicial power ought to be distinct from both the legislative and executive, and independent upon both, that so it may be a check upon both, as both should be checks upon that.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“All my fond love thus do I blow to heaven
‘Tis gone.
Arise, black vengeance, from the hollow hell!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
