Quotes by David A. Kaplan  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“When the votes of justices in controversial cases can be predicted at the outset, constitutional law simply becomes partisan politics by another name.”
David A. Kaplan, The Most Dangerous Branch: Inside the Supreme Court's Assault on the Constitution

“Ends matter, but so do means. It is a distinction long lost on the public—understandably so, given how accustomed it has become to Court intervention. But the justices themselves know better. They know their institution’s history. They know that triumphalism hasn’t always been the way. They just choose to step in anyway. They do because they can. It is what has made the Supreme Court the most dangerous branch.”
David A. Kaplan, The Most Dangerous Branch: Inside the Supreme Court in the Age of Trump

“Freedom resides first in the people without need of a grant from government.”
David A. Kaplan, The Most Dangerous Branch: Inside the Supreme Court in the Age of Trump
