“Judges who invoke the Constitution to protect the rights of people and who declare a statute unconstitutional are not legislating from the bench, nor are they thwarting the will of the majority. They are merely carrying out their oath of office and following the rule of law.”

but he was incredibly careful in what he selected.”
John Sculley, former CEO of Apple, DNA, February 14, 2011
“When the authorities claim that inflation is coming down, what they mean is that the rate of inflation is coming down and not the level. Thus the cruel burden on the common person is not eased.”

“The needs of the comparatively poorer sections of society
continue to increase day by day, whereas the givers have genuine limitations.”
