Robert H. Jackson Quotes:
Ocupation: Former Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States
Life: February 13, 1892 - October 9, 1954
Birthday: February 13
Death: October 9
Reversal by a higher court is not proof that justice is thereby better done. There is no doubt that if there were a super-Supreme Court, a substantial proportion of our reversals of state courts would also be reversed. We are not final because we are infallible, but we are infallible only because we are final.
