Quotes by Adam Cohen (?)

“The rich and powerful are less likely, all other things being equal, to be arrested, convicted, or imprisoned. The poor are, holding everything else constant, more likely to be incarcerated, institutionalized, and sterilized.”
― Adam Cohen, Imbeciles: The Supreme Court, American Eugenics, and the Sterilization of Carrie Buck

“The current Court, after years of being carefully constructed in this way, seems more like a political body than a legal one.”
― Adam Cohen, Supreme Inequality: The Supreme Court's Fifty-Year Battle for a More Unjust America

“Monty Python did a whole skit about it, “Lifeboat (Cannibalism),” in which the castaways in a lifeboat debate which of them would be the best to eat, until Michael Palin calls for a waitress, who appears from nowhere and takes an order for “leg of Hodges.”
― Adam Cohen, Captain's Dinner: A Shipwreck, An Act of Cannibalism, and a Murder Trial That Changed Legal History
