"We are a country of laws, not men. We're hoping that this march will be a symbol for what this bus ride stands for, and that is standing up for the rule of law, the bedrock. The bedrock of our democracy is what's kept this country together for 250 years. We started this country in disagreement, we've always had disagreements, but what's kept us together is an agreement to follow the law. And we are a country of laws, not men. The founders of the country understood a thing or two about power and how it shouldn't be consolidated. That's why they created the three co-equal branches of government, and they knew that the rights that are instilled in the constitution are merely words on a piece of paper, unless you have an independent judiciary to stand up for it. I might add that if our founding fathers came back, they would be in awe that their constitution is still the constitution of this land. They had their doubts, and rightfully so, because it was an experiment, it was new, and here we are 250 years later using the same document, the same Declaration of Independence, and the same constitution, and I think about what Benjamin Franklin said in response to a woman, saying, what kind of country or government is this? And he says, a republic, if you can keep it. And if Ben Franklin was here 250 years later, I think he'd be happy that yes, we did keep it, but we have to protect it as well."
