“It is one thing to believe in civil liberty and another thing to practice it in all the daily relationships of man to man. And I am afraid the facts are that some of us have been for civil liberty in theory but not very careful about practicing it in our daily lives.”
“Men and women every where are haunted by a feeling of insecurity, of helplessness to protect the things they cherish most. And yet, while their present state is so unhappy, they also have a fear of change, and of the unforeseeable and unknowable consoquences of change. They fear that change, instead of bringing them grenter security, will take away the things they want most to keep.”
“Criminal punishment for disobedience of an arbitrary and invalid order is objectionable regardless of whether the order be interlocutory or final.”
“This exclusion of "all persons of Japanese ancestry, both alien and non-alien," from the Pacific Coast area on a plea of military necessity in the absence of martial law ought not to be approved. Such exclusion goes over "the very brink of constitutional power" and falls into the ugly abyss of racism.”
“Any inconvenience that may have accompanied an attempt to conform to procedural due process cannot be said to justify violations of constitutional rights of individuals.”
