note:
Welcome
to
our
daily
feature,
Quote
of
the
Day.
I’m
actually
somewhat
concerned
about
the
Court.
It’s
a
little
bit
too
personal
and
confrontational,
some
of
the
opinions.
I’m
hoping
that
will
settle
down
a
little
bit.
—
Former
Justice
Anthony
Kennedy,
in
comments
given
during
an
interview
with
CBS
News
to
discuss
his
memoir, “Life,
Law
and
Liberty” (affiliate
link).
Careful
not
to
criticize
his
colleagues
on
the
Supreme
Court,
Kennedy
went
on
to
express
his
concerns
about
civility
and
ethics,
saying,
“Democracy
presumes
an
open,
rational,
thoughtful,
decent
discussion
where
you
respect
the
dignity
of
the
person
with
whom
you
disagree.
And
if
it
doesn’t
have
that,
then
democracy
as
we
know
it
is
in
danger.”
