Justice Potter Stewart, (1915-1985) Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States
Justice Potter Stewart Quote
“The right to defy an unconstitutional statute is basic in our scheme. Even when an ordinance requires a permit to make a speech, to deliver a sermon, to picket, to parade, or to assemble, it need not be honored when it’s invalid on its face.”
