The Freedom has this amazing speech giving by future Supreme Court Justice George Sutherland from his address as the President of the American Bar Association at its annual meeting, Saratoga Springs, N. Y., September 4, 1917:
Liberty consists at last in the right to do whatever the law does not forbid, and this presupposes law made in advance — so that the individual may know before he acts, the standard of conduct to which his acts must conform — and interpreted and applied after the act by disinterested authority — so that the true relation to one another of the conduct and the law may be clearly ascertained and declared.Just a reminder, when you think about ObamaCare and its' waivers.
It is, therefore, of the utmost importance that the authority which interprets and executes the law should not also be the authority which makes it. The law must apply to all alike.
