WIST Quotations Has Moved!Apr 8, 2025

A quotation from Lincoln

In this and like communities, public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment, nothing can fail; without it, nothing can succeed. Consequently, he who moulds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes or pronounces decisions. He makes statutes and decisions possible or impossible to be executed.

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
Speech (1858-08-21), Lincoln-Douglas Debate No. 1, Ottawa, Illinois

This fundamental interpretive shift is noteworthy and prompts serious #questions regarding the #RFRA's #congruity with the #Constitution.

#ConstitutionalAmendments like the #1stAmendment must not be #altered or #misconstrued through the #enactment of #ordinary #legislation like the #RFRA. Such #alterations must be viewed as #undermining the inherent #authority of the #constitution and its #amendments, potentially creating #legal #discrepancies and #loopholes. (6/8)
