Sunday... I've spent some of this day wondering... and thinking... and wondering over the words of Justice Learned Hand. He said, "The spirit of democracy is that spirit which is not too sure it is always right." First, I am convinced that Justice Hand was one of the most insightful thinkers and deliberate, quiet speakers in our history. With this presidential election looming I am wondering where in all the rhetoric, the debates, the election fervor is someone like Learned Hand reminding us of the fragility of our democracy.
