The People Must Govern
“The people must govern this country; wisdom from the bench, wisdom from public officials is not a substitute for the common sense and moral commitment of a concerned citizenry.” -Justice Shirley S. Abrahamson
Democracy
The Ultimate Objective
“Each of us must work to give the majestic phrases of the constitution—due process of law, equal protection of the law—real meaning to every person. We are each called upon to perform our part in a constitutional democratic system. Each of us in our own way has a firm obligation to do whatever can be done to achieve the ultimate objective of a just and humane society.”
