“Thou knowest how numerous this tribe is, how united and how powerful in the assemblies. I will plead in a low voice so that only the judges may hear, for instigators are not lacking to stir up the crowd against me, and against all the best citizens. To scorn, in the interest of the Republic, this multitude of Jews so often turbulent in the assemblies shows a singular strength of mind. The money is in the Treasury; they do not accuse us of theft; they seek to stir up hatreds.” MindMayShowsVoiceInterestUnitedPowerfulJudgingCitizensLowsHatredJewCrowdsRepublicMultitudesLackingTribesScornTheftAssemblyTreasuryAll The BestStrength Of MindInstigators Author:Marcus Tullius Cicero

“I don't believe we need a good conservative judge, and I don't believe we need a good liberal judge. I subscribe to the Justice Potter Stewart standard. He was a justice on the Supreme Court of the United States. And he said the mark of a good judge, good justice, is that when you're reading their decision, their opinion, you can't tell if it's written by a man or woman, a liberal or a conservative, a Muslim, a Jew or a Christian. You just know you're reading a good judicial decision.” IfsKnowsMenNeedsBelieveSaidStatesChristianReadingJusticeDecisionUnitedOpinionUnited StatesWrittenJudgingStandardsMarkCourtDon't BelieveConservativeJewSupremeSupreme CourtPottersJudicialGood Judges Author:John F.

“In the United States we have all across this country, we have dozens of Halakha courts, in which particularly observant Jews can take these issues of family law to an orthodox Court and have that judge, judge for them. As long as the courts don't violate the laws of the land and as long as there's a room for appeal should one or two parties disagree with the verdict, I don't see how this would have anything to do with being incompatible with what we refer to as Western ideas of democracy.” ShouldLongTwoIdeasCountryStatesLawUnitedRoomsPartyUnited StatesDemocracyIssuesLandJudgingCourtWesternJewAppealsOrthodoxDisagreeDozenVerdictObservantFamily Law Author:Mark Durie
