Strana 83 - The war on poverty is not a struggle simply to support people, to make them dependent on the generosity of others. It is a struggle to give people a chance.

The cynics see a slippery slope down every path; some see deeply religious people as untrustworthy - incapable of following regulations and perpetually plotting to proselytize their neighbor, while others see every civil servant as a regulator lacking restraint just waiting to emasculate America's religious institutions.

Strana 124 - There are other safeguards in charitable choice laws that are not necessitated by the Establishment Clause, but by the Constitution's Free Exercise Clause - a feature of the First Amendment that ought to carry equal weight to the Establishment Clause but, for a variety of reasons, often seems forgotten - even by the Supreme...
