Quote of the Week

  • For May 19, 2008

    “In the view of the Constitution, in the eye of the law, there is in this country no superior, dominant, ruling class of citizens. There is no caste here. Our Constitution is color-blind, and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens. In respect of civil rights, all citizens are equal before the law. The humblest is the peer of the most powerful.”
    ~John Marshall Harlan (1833-1911) Dissenting opinion, Plessy v. Ferguson 163 U.S. 537, 559 (1896).
