Alex Kozinski Quotes

• La Segunda Enmienda es una disposición del día del juicio final, diseñada para aquellas circunstancias excepcionalmente raras en las que todos los demás derechos han fracasado: cuando el gobierno se niega a presentarse a la reelección y silencia a los que protestan; cuando los tribunales han perdido el valor de oponerse, o no encuentran a nadie que haga cumplir sus decretos. Por improbables que puedan parecer hoy estas contingencias, enfrentarse a ellas sin estar preparado es un error que un pueblo libre sólo puede cometer una vez.

• Mis excelentes colegas han olvidado estas amargas lecciones de la historia. Puede que la perspectiva de la tiranía no acapare los titulares de la forma en que suelen hacerlo las vívidas historias de crímenes con armas de fuego. Pero pocos vieron venir el Tercer Reich hasta que fue demasiado tarde. La Segunda Enmienda es una disposición catastrófica, diseñada sólo para aquellas circunstancias excepcionalmente raras en las que todos los demás derechos han fracasado. Un pueblo libre sólo puede permitirse cometer este error una vez.

• The majority falls prey to the delusion–popular in some circles–that ordinary people are too careless and stupid to own guns, and we would be far better off leaving all weapons in the hands of professionals on the government payroll. But the simple truth–born of experience–is that tyranny thrives best where government need not fear the wrath of an armed people.

• Overprotecting intellectual property is as harmful as underprotecting it. Creativity is impossible without a rich public domain. Nothing today, likely nothing since we tamed fire, is genuinely new: Culture, like science and technology, grows by accretion, each new creator building on the works of those who came before. Overprotection stifles the very creative forces it's supposed to nurture.

• In a very real sense, the Constitution is our compact with history . . . [but] the Constitution can maintain that compact and serve as the lodestar of our political system only if its terms are binding on us. To the extent we depart from the document's language and rely instead on generalities that we see written between the lines, we rob the Constitution of its binding force and give free reign to the fashions and passions of the day.

• Para bien o para mal, somos el Tribunal de Apelación del Circuito de Hollywood. Millones de personas trabajan a la sombra de las leyes que elaboramos, y gran parte de su sustento es posible gracias a la existencia de los derechos de propiedad intelectual. Pero gran parte de su sustento -y gran parte de la vitalidad de nuestra cultura- depende también de la existencia de otros derechos intangibles: El derecho a extraer ideas de un dominio público rico y variado, y el derecho a burlarse, con fines tanto lucrativos como lúdicos, de los iconos culturales de nuestro tiempo.

• The First Amendment is really at the very core of political speech, and political speech is at the core of the First Amendment. So, we want to be very careful to make sure that candidates for office are free to express their views so that people will make an informed choice. We don't want them holding back, and sort of concealing their views and then disclosing them afterwards.
