Burns Amendment

Famous quotes containing the words burns and/or amendment:

    Wee, modest, crimson-tipped flow’r,
    Thou’s met me in an evil hour;
    For I maun crush amang the stoure
    Thy slender stem:
    To spare thee now is past my pow’r,
    Thou bonnie gem.
    —Robert Burns (1759–1796)

    [Asserting] important First Amendment rights ... why should [executions] be the one area that is conducted behind closed doors?... Why shouldn’t executions be public?
    Phil Donahue (b. 1935)
