what he was talking about What l

in accord with every principle Of justice,
unfolding the law, enforcing order demand

accountability. tolerant of no wrong
doing. turning out thieves whether
men. women and children, striving for our
rational honor and Obedient to the very
letter Of the constitution. The work of

vicious assaults on these laws. Changes
