Howard Zinn on the illiberal tradition of the US Supreme Court (2005)
"Don’t Despair about the Supreme Court"
... It would be naive to depend on the Supreme Court to defend the rights of poor people, women, people of color, dissenters of all kinds. Those rights only come alive when citizens organize, protest, demonstrate, strike, boycott, rebel, and violate the law in order to uphold justice. ...

... which isn't to say, of course, that the tendency shouldn't be fought tooth and nail.
Zinn is best known as author of A People's History of the United States,

“How can you have a #war on #terrorism when war itself is terrorism?” ~ #HowardZinn
“There is no instance of a #nation benefitting from #prolonged #warfare.” ~ #SunTzu, #TheArtOfWar
“Until the #philosophy which holds one #race #superior and another #inferior is #finally and #permanently #discredited and #abandoned, #everywhere is war. And until there are no longer #first-class and #second-class #citizens of any nation, until the #colour of a man's #skin is of no more #significance than the colour of his eyes. And until the #basic #humanrights are #equally #guaranteed to #all without regard to race, there is war. ~ #HaileSelassie
“The choice is not between violence and nonviolence but between #nonviolence and #nonexistence.” ~ #MartinLutherKingJr.
“If we don't #end war, war will end us.” ~ #HGWells

"Historicamente, as coisas mais terríveis - a guerra, o genocídio, a escravatura - resultaram não da desobediência, mas da obediência. - Howard Zinn -
To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places — and there are so many — where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.
