"...the arguments that have been addressed to us lead me to utter more explicit misgivings about war powers than the Court has done. The Government asserts no constitutional basis for this legislation other than this vague, undefined and undefinable 'war power.' No one will question that this power is the most dangerous one to free government in the whole catalogue of powers. It is usually invoked in haste and excitement, when calm legislative consideration of constitutional limitation is difficult. It is executed in a time of patriotic fervor that makes moderation unpopular. And, worst of all, it is interpreted by judges under the influence of the same passions and pressures. Always, as in this case, the Government urges hasty decision to forestall some emergency or serve some purpose and pleads that paralysis will result if its claims to power are denied or their confirmation delayed." - Justice Robert H. Jackson
(1892 - 1954), U. S. Supreme Court Justice.

"We must make clear to the Germans that the wrong for which their fallen leaders are on trial is not that they lost the [Second World] war, but that they started it...No grievances or policies will justify resort to [initiating force and] aggressive [rather than defensive] war. It is utterly renounced and condemned as an instrument of policy." - Justice Robert H. Jackson
(1892-1954), U. S. Supreme Court Justice.

"The very purpose of a Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy, to place them beyond the reach of [democratic] majorities and officials and to establish them as legal principles to be applied by the courts. One's right to life, liberty, and property, to free speech, a free press, freedom of worship and assembly, and other fundamental rights may not be submitted to vote; they depend on the outcome of no elections." - Justice Robert H. Jackson
(1892-1954), U. S. Supreme Court Justice. Source: West Virginia Board of Education vs. Barnette, 1943.
