Famous quotes containing the words federal and/or court:

    “Newsmen believe that news is a tacitly acknowledged fourth branch of the federal system. This is why most news about government sounds as if it were federally mandated—serious, bulky and blandly worthwhile, like a high-fiber diet set in type.”
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)

    “World history is a court of judgment.”
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
