Obama's attitude toward the rule of law is apparent in the words he used to describe what he is looking for in a nominee to replace Justice David Souter.

My view is that to get anywhere in life you have to be anti-social, otherwise you'll end up being devoured.

It's fine until people try to cheer you up with gems like, 'snap out of it' or 'Come on, now'.

Theodore Roosevelt

Because we are unqualifiedly and without reservation against any system of denominational schools, maintained by the adherents of any creed with the help of state aid, therefore, we as strenuously insist that the public schools shall be free from sectarian influences, and above all, free from any attitude of hostility to the adherents of any particular creed.
