Line of the Week 3

This line comes from Supreme Court justice John Paul Stevens in his dissenting opinion in reference to the case Bush v. Gore:

"[The majority opinion] can only lend credence to the most cynical appraisal of the work of judges throughout the land … Although we may never know with complete certainty the identity of the winner of this year's presidential election, the identity of the loser is perfectly clear. It is the nation's confidence in the judge as an impartial guardian of the rule of law."
