“Justice White's conclusion is perhaps correct, if one assumes that the task of a court of law is to plumb the intent of the particular Congress that enacted a particular provision. That methodology is not mine nor, I think, the one that courts have traditionally followed. It is our task, as I see it, not to enter the minds of the Members of Congress - who need have nothing in mind in order for their votes to be both lawful and effective - but rather to give fair and reasonable meaning to the text of the United States Code, adopted by various Congresses at various times.” IfsThinkingNeedsGivingMindStatesLawOrderJusticeWhiteUnitedUnited StatesMinesParticularMembersFairsTasksVoteCourtAssumingCongressVariousConclusionCodeReasonableAdoptedProvisionMethodology Author:Antonin Scalia

“Balance and control come from healthy anger. This is just as aggressive as the unhealthy kind. But it is based on a belief and hope for change in social roles and institutions. Healthy anger demands change and creates the confrontations needed for change to occur. It also gives the other an opportunity to help make that change. “Our task, of course, is to transmute the anger that is affliction into the anger that is determination to bring about change. I think, in fact, that one could give that as a definition of revolution.” ThinkingGivingKindFactsHelpingCoursesOpportunityBeliefSocialRolesRevolutionNeededBalanceHealthyDemandDeterminationTasksInstitutionsDefinitionsAggressiveAfflictionConfrontationUnhealthySocial Roles Author:Barbara Deming
