LOL--Mencken is one of my favorites. I like this one a lot!

"The only guarantee of the Bill of Rights which continues to have any force and effect is the one prohibiting

quartering troops on citizens in time of peace. All the rest have been disposed of by judicial interpretation and

legislative whittling. Probably the worst thing that has happened in America in my time is the decay of

confidence in the courts. No one can be sure any more that in a given case they will uphold the plainest mandate

of the Constitution. On the contrary, everyone begins to be more or less convinced in advance that they won't.

Judges are chosen not because they know the Constitution and are in favor of it, but precisely because they

appear to be against it."
