As I've said before, I don't find enough quotes I like enough to make this a regular subject for my blog. Once in a while, however, I come across a gem.
"In interpreting this language (referring to the 14th Amendment), it is important to recall that constitutional provisions are 'written to be understood by the voters'."
- Justice Thomas, SCOTUS; case of McDonald v. Chicago, p. 75
This is an excellent reminder to us all. Laws aren't supposed to be written to "be interpreted." The constitution was explicitly written to be understood by the farmer, and the lawyer, and even the politician.
