Thomas Jefferson said, “To consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions [is] a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy.

By Ronnie W. Rogers / January 31, 2013 / Comments Off on Think About IT: Why Doesn’t God?
