Text Quotes
The most important consideration I have is I want my legislative shop to have a functional office suite that is conducive to getting their work accomplished  (Legislative Quotes) By perfecting this legislative machinery and by participating in the various international agreements we intend to contribute to the wholesome development of world trade  (Legislative Quotes) There’s a rhythm to the legislative session and there are rhythms to legislative sessions. So I think that’s very important to take into consideration when you are deciding what to do when  (Legislative Quotes) We no longer ask of a judicial ruling or a legislative act: is it good? Is it fair? Is it just? Is it right? Will it help bring about a better society or a better world? Those used to be the political questions, even if they invited no easy answers. We must learn once again to pose them  (Legislative Quotes) Governments decide they know best and they’re going to tell you what to do. The trouble is that education doesn’t go on in the committee rooms of our legislative buildings. It happens in classrooms and schools, and the people who do it are the teachers and the students. And if you remove their discretion, it stops working  (Legislative Quotes) We’re going to hammer guns on the anvil of relentless legislative strategy! We’re going to beat guns into submission!  (Legislative Quotes) The death penalty is a poor person’s issue. Always remember that: after all the rhetoric that goes on in the legislative assemblies, in the end, when the deck is cast out, it is the poor who are selected to die in this country  (Legislative Quotes) So that the executive and legislative branches of the national government depend upon, and emanate from the states. Every where the state sovereignties are represented; and the national sovereignty, as such, has no representation  (Legislative Quotes) Money is not an invention of the state. It is not the product of a legislative act  (Legislative Quotes) If politics mean…the effort to secure through legislative action better conditions of life for the people, greater opportunities for our children and other people’s children…then it most assuredly is a woman’s job as much as it is a man’s job  (Legislative Quotes) Courts should always do the right thing. But if winning were as simple as making a good argument and filing a good brief, then we would have won the freedom to marry 40 years ago. We must put the legal work next to the public education work next to the legislative work next to the organizing work, and that’s what’s brought us so far  (Legislative Quotes) In democracy, as quaintly understood, voters pick their representatives. American democracy increasingly reverses that. Legislative districts are drawn to protect incumbents who, effectively, pick their voters  (Legislative Quotes) Clearly there are always unintended consequences of any legislative or regulatory act that’s taken in the heat of battle  (Legislative Quotes) Never blame a legislative body for not doing something. When they do nothing, that don’t hurt anybody. When they do something is when they become dangerous  (Legislative Quotes) Legislative enactments proceed from men carrying their views a long time back; while judicial decisions are made off hand  (Legislative Quotes) What happens when you have vast legislative overreach is you don’t particularly fix the problem you started out to fix but create problems for everyone else  (Legislative Quotes) Permission from the government is an expensive commodity. New ideas rarely have this kind of support. Old ideas often have deep legislative connections to defend them against the new  (Legislative Quotes) I think people everywhere have a very dismaying feeling that politics are going over their heads, are being decided by wealthy interests that don’t take them into consideration. And are bending the legislative process in their own behalf  (Legislative Quotes) The powers of the federal government are enumerated; it can only operate in certain cases; it has legislative powers on defined and limited objects, beyond which it cannot extend its jurisdiction  (Legislative Quotes) Democracy is not just constitutional and legislative rules; it is a culture and practice and adhering by the law and respecting international human rights principles  (Legislative Quotes) That will change over time the entire flow of information and the entire quality of knowledge in the country and it will change the way people will try to play games in the legislative process  (Legislative Quotes) The principles of a free constitution are irrecoverably lost, when the legislative power is nominated by the executive  (Legislative Quotes) The legislative department is everywhere extending the sphere of its activity and drawing all power into its impetuous vortex  (Legislative Quotes) Ethical metaphysics is fundamentally an attempt, however disguised, to give legislative force to our own wishes  (Legislative Quotes) As Bob Dole found out, you can’t keep a positive image while being your party’s mouthpiece in Congress. That’s why no legislative leader since James Madison has ever been elected president  (Legislative Quotes) The idea of restraining the legislative authority, in the means of providing for the national defense, is one of those refinements which owe their origin to a zeal for liberty more ardent than enlightened  (Legislative Quotes) Every coercive monopoly was created by government intervention into the economy: by special privileges, such as franchises or subsidies, which closed the entry of competitors into a given field, by legislative action  (Legislative Quotes) The danger from legislative usurpations, which, by assembling all power in the same hands, must lead to the same tyranny as is threatened by executive usurpations  (Legislative Quotes) There is as yet no liberty if the power of judging be not separated from legislative power and the executrix  (Legislative Quotes) To embarrass justice by multiplicity of laws, or to hazard it by confidence in judges, seem to be the opposite rocks on which all civil institutions have been wrecked, and between which legislative wisdom has never yet found an open passage  (Legislative Quotes)
