washington in recent weeks. i will not criticize the political branches. we do that often enough in our opinions. what i would like to do is emphasize how the judicial branches, how it must be very different. i have great respect for our public officials. after all, they speak for the people and that commands a certain degree of humility from those of us in the judicial branch who do not. we do not speak for the people. we speak for the constitution. our role is very clear. we are to interpret the constitution and laws of the united states and insured political branches act within them. that job obviously requires independence from the political branches. the story of the supreme court would be very different without that sort of independence. without independence there is no brown versus board of education, without independence there is no west virginia versus barnett. the court held the government cannot compel schoolchildren to salute the flag. without independence there i
