One who comes to the Court must come to adore, not to protest. That's the new gloss on the 1st Amendment.

The court is really the keeper of the conscience, and the conscience is the Constitution.

The dissent we witness is a reaffirmation of faith in man; it is protest against living under rules and prejudices and attitudes that produce the extremes of wealth and poverty and that make us dedicated to the destruction of people through arms, bombs, and gases, and that prepare us to think alike and be submissive objects for the regime of the computer.

It seemed to me that I had barely reached the Court when people were trying to get me off.

Government should be concerned with anti-social conduct, not with utterances.

The Constitution is not neutral. It was designed to take the government off the backs of people.
