The court doesn't follow public opinion. The court's views are radically out of step with public opinion.

Ted Cruz

The first opinion the Court ever filed has a dissenting opinion. Dissent is a tradition of this Court... When someone is writing for the Court, he hopes to get eight others to agree with him, so many of the majority opinions are rather stultified.

William O. Douglas

I think that the legitimacy of the court would be undermined in any case if the court made a decision based on its perception of public opinion.

Samuel Alito

Class warfare always sounds good. Taking action against the rich and the powerful and making 'em pay for what they do, it always sounds good. But that's not the job of the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court standing on the side of the American people? The Supreme Court adjudicates the law. The Supreme Court determines the constitutionality of things and other things. The Supreme Court's gotten way out of focus, in my opinion.

Rush Limbaugh

An appeal is when you ask one court to show its contempt for another court.

Finley Peter Dunne

Case of Johnson v. M'Intosh is continued to be cited today by the Supreme Court. Even Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the most liberal member of the court, in footnote one of opinion she wrote several years ago involving the Oneida Nation cites the Doctrine of Discovery. The court never questions it.

Robert A. Williams, Jr.

All those lessons that I've learned on the court, I have applied them to my life outside of the court in business, my company, called V Starr interiors, an interior design company, and EleVen, which I wear on court.

Venus Williams

The God of many men is little more than their court of appeal against the damnatory judgment passed on their failures by the opinion of the world.

William James

CBS exhausted the Texas courts. They went from the trial court to the intermediate court to the highest court.

Floyd Abrams

You watch the Supreme Court in action on these cases, and they are a conflicted court. However, when it comes to speech issues generally, the court has been protective.

Jay Alan Sekulow

We have to respect that any nominee to the Supreme Court would have to defer any comments on any matters which are either before the court or very likely to be before the court.

Edward Kennedy

If you make too many things too public, then you end up living your life before the court of public opinion.

Farrah Gray

In a surprising unanimous ruling, the Supreme Court ruled the police cannot search what is on your phone without a warrant. Court observers said a unanimous decision from this court was slightly less likely than Scalia winning the annual Supreme Court wet robe contest.

Peter Sagal

The advertiser is the overrewarded court jester and court pander at the democratic court.

Joseph Wood Krutch

The House of Commons has the undoubted rights to expel members for misconduct. This is an absolute authority which cannot be challenged in any court, as it derives from the twin concept of the High Court of Parliament being the most senior court in the land and of each House's right to regulate its own affairs.
