"The truth is, that, even with
the most secure tenure of office, during good behavior, the danger is not, that
the judges will be too firm in resisting public opinion, and in defence of
private rights or public liberties; but, that they will be ready to yield
themselves to the passions, and politics, and prejudices of the day."
--Joseph Story, Commentaries on the
Constitution, 1833
