Zitat des Tages von John Marshall Harlan:

The law regards man as man, and takes no account of his surroundings or of his color when his civil rights as guaranteed by the supreme law of the land are involved.

John Marshall Harlan

Our constitution is color-blind, and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens.

John Marshall Harlan

The humblest is the peer of the most powerful.
