Legislation Can Neither Be Wise Nor Just

I Tell Our Sisters In The South That So Far As Tennessee Is Concerned She Will Not Be Dragged Into A Southern Or Any Other Confederacy Until She Has Had Time To Consider; And Then She Will Go When She Believes It To Be Her Interest, And Not Before.

I Am Sworn To Uphold The Constitution As Andy Johnson Understands It And Interprets It.

Outside Of The Constitution We Have No Legal Authority More Than Private Citizens, And Within It We Have Only So Much As That Instrument Gives Us. This Broad Principle Limits All Our Functions And Applies To All Subjects.

It Is Our Sacred Duty To Transmit Unimpaired To Our Posterity The Blessings Of Liberty Which Were Bequeathed To Us By The Founders Of The Republic.
