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

In every political community there are varying shades of political opinion. One of the shadiest of these is the liberals. An outspoken group on many subjects.
