Re: Quote of The Day: Justice Holmes
In Buck v. Bell, Holmes wrote the majority opinion that upheld the validity of forced sterilization of mentally retarded women. His justification was that. . . "Three generations of imbeciles is enough."

[ QUOTE ]
Consistency is the hobgoblin of inferior minds [/ QUOTE ] Holmes may have said that, but the original quote is from Self Reliance by Ralph Waldo Emerson. And the exact quote is: "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds" |
