True freedom requires the rule of law and justice, and a judicial system in which the rights of some are not secured by the denial of rights to others.

The government, under my leadership, will act to implement the rule of law and to maintain the independence of the judicial system, which is one of the pillars of maintaining a democratic system.

I have faith in the judicial system.

Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged.

In a democracy, you need to have a strong judicial system. You need freedom of speech, you need art, and you need a free press.

It is more important that innocence be protected than it is that guilt be punished, for guilt and crimes are so frequent in this world that they cannot all be punished.

But if innocence itself is brought to the bar and condemned, perhaps to die, then the citizen will say, 'whether I do good or whether I do evil is immaterial, for innocence itself is no protection,' and if such an idea as that were to take hold in the mind of the citizen that would be the end of security whatsoever.
