“If [the legislature] will positively enact a thing to be done, the judges are not at liberty to reject it, for that were to set the judicial power above that of the legislature, which would be subversive of all government.”
William Blackstone
“No enactment of man can be considered law unless it conforms to the law of God”
“Let me make the newspapers, and I care not what is preached in the pulpit or what is enacted in Congress”
Wendell Phillips
“The story the Leavers have been enacting for the past three million years isn’t a story of conquest and rule. Enacting it doesn’t give them power. Enacting it gives them lives that are satisfying and meaningful to them. This is what you’ll find if you go among them. They’re not seething with discontent and rebellion, not incessantly wrangling over what should be allowed and what forbidden, not forever accusing each other of not living the right way, not living in terror of each other not going crazy because their lives seem empty and pointless, not having to stupefy themselves with drugs to get through the days, not having a new religion every week to give them something to hold on to, not forever searching for something to do or something to believe in that will make lives worth living. And – I repeat – this is not because they live close to nature or have no formal government or because they’re innately noble. This is simply because they’re enacting a story that works well for people – a story that worked well for three million years and that still works well where the Takers haven’t yet managed to stamp it out.”
Daniel Quinn
“We are asking that the county exempt or grandfather any approved and recorded plots prior to the enactment of the ordinance. These are good citizens. They followed the existing laws at the time. They've made an investment.”

“Our job is only to take orders from the government and enact them. It will be a strange turn to see people we might have arrested supervising us, but I will continue doing my job.”
Col. Adnan Damiri
“First and foremost younger consumers are just more comfortable enacting more intense activity online that includes financial services activity. They're just more comfortable clicking a mouse than writing a check.”
Bruce Cundiff
“If we can't even figure out how it was that they enacted the threats or moved through that attack, and if we can't evaluate why we were as vulnerable as we were -- if we can't evaluate how it was the last 9/11 happened -- how is it that we can prepare for the next one?”
Tom Daschle
“We will continue to work with Republicans and Democrats in Congress to enact a tax cut plan consistent with the president's approach.”
Claire Buchan
“With the kind of support he sees around the state, he thinks it would be something important to enact.”
