Same for judges. In the words of Justice Scalia, “If you're going to be a good and faithful judge, you have to resign yourself to the fact that you're not always going to like the conclusions you reach. If you like them all the time, you're probably doing something wrong.”
If you’re a football coach, criticism comes with the territory. If it tears you up, you better get into another profession.

Today, the Supreme Court delivered a unanimous opinion referencing the Declaration of Independence. Justice Kagan wrote, “Prior to the Revolution, Parliament enacted measures to try allegedly treasonous colonists in England, rather than in their home colonies.

The legislation was so roundly despised as to make it into the Declaration of Independence. Among the “injuries and usurpations” listed there was the practice of “transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences.” Declaration of Independence ¶21;”#SCOTUS #America250

#OnThisDay in 1776, the Second Continental Congress appointed a committee including Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, and Robert Livingston, to draft a declaration justifying independence from Great Britain.
The result would become one of the most consequential documents in human history. While debate over independence continued, Congress recognized the need to articulate the legal and philosophical justification for such a momentous step.

#OnThisDay in #history, 1789, #JamesMadison introduced the #BillofRights. “If all power is subject to abuse,” he told #Congress, the amendments are not only “an impenetrable bulwark against every assumption of power”—but a “declaration of the rights of the people.” #America250

🧵| Shug Jordan in #DDay
When 156,000 Allied soldiers stormed the beaches of Normandy 80 years ago today, James Ralph "Shug" Jordan was one of them.
In fact, Shug was one of the few people to know the secret details of the landings before June 6, 1944. (1/8)
