"Amending The Constitution" “The Constitution, on this hypothesis, is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the Judiciary, which they may twist and shape into any form they please.” ~ Thomas Jefferson "The Court is most vulnerable and comes nearest to illegitimacy when it deals with judge-made constitutional law having little or no cognizable roots in the language or design of the Constitution." ~ Byron R. White “Well, Doctor, what have we got ... A Republic or a Monarchy?” “A Republic, if you can keep it.” ~ The response is attributed to BENJAMIN FRANKLIN at the close of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, when queried as he left Independence Hall on the final day of deliberation. "When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way.

"Autumn Leaves" Nat King Cole lyrics by johnny mercer, Music by joseph kosma The falling leaves drift by the window The autumn leaves of red and gold I see your lips, the summer kisses The sun-burned hands I used to hold Since you went away the days grow long And soon I’ll hear old winter’s song But I miss you most of all my darling When autumn leaves start to fall "Moonlight Serenade" Glenn Miller A SandScraper's Sunset Perry Como "Some Enchanted Evening" "Till The End Of Time"
