Famous quotes and sentences with the word constitutionality.
1

2
Jeffrey Chiesa
The job of the Attorney General is very specific. My roll, as the legal adviser, is to defend the constitutionality of the laws as they're passed.
3
Everett Dirksen
The mind is no match with the heart in persuasion; constitutionality is no match with compassion.
