George F. Will Quote: “Popularity makes no law invulnerable to invalidation. Americans accept judicial supervision of their democracy – judicial review of popular but possibly unconstitutional statutes – because they know that if the Constitution is truly to constitute the nation, it must trump some majority preferences.”
George F. Will Quote: “Football combines the two worst things about America: it is violence punctuated by committee meetings.”

George F. Will Quote: “One radical free spirit nonconformist is pretty much like another.”
