The Absence of Guilt Quotes

“The Bill of Rights was written to protect people we don't like. People who don't agree with us, believe like us, or think like us. People with different religions, creeds, and colors.”
― Mark Gimenez, The Absence of Guilt

“And so it was. When a society no longer shares common values, beliefs, traditions, languages, dreams—when society is simply a collection of strangers fighting for themselves, when "we the people" becomes "me, myself, and I"—there is friction. They rub each other the wrong way. They disagree. Your way or my way but never our way. But which way? They demand that judges decide. To referee their lives. To decide right or wrong, legal or illegal, winners and losers. Someone must win, someone must lose, and someone must decide. In America, that someone is a judge.”
