Quotable Quotes on Power 4

“Dissents speak to a future age. It’s not simply to say, ‘My colleagues are wrong and I would do it this way.’ But the greatest dissents do become court opinions and gradually over time their views become the dominant view.

Democrats (and Republicans) Must at Least Pursue Impeachment Inquiries To Uncover the Whole Truth.
