William H. Rehnquist Quotes

«When you are young and impecunious, society conditions you to exchange time for money, and this is quite as it should be. Very few people are hurt by having to work for a living. But as you become more affluent, it somehow is very, very difficult to reverse that process and begin trading money for time.»
«It is impossible to build sound constitutional doctrine upon a mistaken understanding of constitutional history. . . . The establishment clause has been expressly freighted with Jefferson's misleading metaphor for nearly forty years. . . . There is simply no historical foundation for the proposition that the framers intended to build a wall of separation [between church and state]. . . . The recent court decisions are in no way based on either the language or the intent of the framers.»
«It is truly surprising that the state must assign a greater value to a mother's decision to cut off a potential human life by abortion than to a father's decision to let it mature into a live child.»
«The Constitution requires that Congress treat similarly situated persons similarly, not that it engage in gestures of superficial equality.»
«Somewhere out there, beyond the walls of the courthouse, run currents and tides of public opinion which lap at the courtroom door.»
«Our judges will not continue to represent the diverse face of America if only the well-to-do or the mediocre are willing to become judges.»
«The Supreme Court is an institution far more dominated by centrifugal forces, pushing toward individuality and independence, than it is by centripetal forces pulling for hierarchical ordering and institutional unity.»
«The Constitution does not guarantee the right to acquire information at a public library without any risk of embarrassment.»
«A public library does not acquire Internet terminals in order to create a public forum for Web publishers to express themselves, any more than it collects books in order to provide a public forum for the authors of books to speak.»
«Even today, when society's views on abortion are changing, the very existence of the debate is evidence that the `right' to an abortion is not so universally accepted as (Roe) would have us believe.»
