Each year, February 19th brings us back to a crucial date in 1942. On that day, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, a decision that authorized the forced removal and incarceration of over 125,000 people of Japanese ancestry, most of them U.S. citizens.

美联储前主席鲍威尔在接受肯尼迪图书馆基金会颁发的肯尼迪奖时,警告政治权力可能被滥用。 他说:作为美国人,我们受到一种信念的驱使,那就是自由与民主极大地促进了人类自我价值的实现。 维护和巩固我们自身民主的工作,可能会充满喧嚣,有时令人沮丧,甚至陷入四面楚歌的境地。在繁荣的民主政体中,党派之间的政治分歧是正常的,甚至可以说是必不可少的。 但是,在捍卫定义我们国家的更高原则上,我们应当团结一致。其中首要的原则就是对法治的尊重。 正如约翰·亚当斯所写:“我们的政府是一个法治的政府,而非人治的政府。”
