Sunday Reflection: On Justice

"The glory of justice and the majesty of law are created not just by the Constitution - nor by the courts - nor by the officers of the law - nor by the lawyers - but by the men and women who constitute our society - who are the protectors of the law as they are themselves protected by the law."-- Robert F. Kennedy, from "RFK Collected Speeches," Guthman, Viking Press.
