Health care reform, the marquee legislative accomplishment of the Obama administration's first term, was passed before we entered the world of divided government.

Mas, no que se refere a este tribunal, a virtude negativa da tolerÃ¢ncia deve transformar-se na virtude menos fÃ¡cil, mas mais elevada, da justiÃ§a. Sobretudo, quando o vazio de um coraÃ§Ã£o, assim como o que descobrimos neste homem, se torna um abismo onde a sociedade pode sucumbir. [...] Ainda na opiniÃ£o dele, um homem que matava moralmente a mÃ£e devia ser afastado da sociedade dos homens,exatamente como o que levantava a mÃ£o criminosa contra o autor de seus dias. Em todos os casos, o primeiro preparava os atos do segundo, anunciava-os, de certa forma, e legitimava-os. [...] - PeÃ§o-vos a cabeÃ§a deste homem - disse. E Ã© sem escrÃºpulos que vos dirijo este pedido. Pois no decorrer da minha longa carreira tem-me acontecido pedir a pena capital, mas nunca como hoje eu senti este penoso dever tÃ£o compensado, equilibrado, iluminado pela consciÃªncia de um mandamento sagrado e imperativo e pelo horror que sinto diante de um rosto humano onde nada leio que nÃ£o seja monstruoso.

Unpretending mediocrity is good, and genius is glorious; but

Unpretending mediocrity is good, and genius is glorious; but a weak flavor of genius in an essentially common person is detestable. It spoils the grand neutrality of a commonplace character, as the rinsings of an unwashed wine-glass spoil a draught of fair water.
