I think there are two Robert Jackson's here: One is a rock and roll singer and the other does podsats about self awareness. Wondering how we can clarify this??? Robert Jackson is an independent label rocker from New York. His latest cd Twilight Theatre mixes rock/and metal music with spoken word narrative intros. Kind of like Black Sabbath,Alice Cooper meets Pink Floyd,Roky Erickson and Blue Oyster Cult. The cd is about the chronlogical history of the supernatural,paranormal,horror and sci fi.

  • I used to say that, as Solicitor General, I made three arguments in every case. First came the one I had planned – as I thought, logical, coherent, complete. Second was the one actually presented – interrupted, incoherent, disjointed, disappointing. The third was the utterly devastating argument that I thought of after going to bed that night…
  • On your first appearance before the Court, do not waste your time and ours telling us so. We are likely to discover for ourselves that you are a novice but will think none the less of you for it. Every famous lawyer had his first day at our bar, and perhaps a sad one…. Be respectful, of course, but also be self-respectful, and neither disparage yourself nor flatter the Justices. We think well enough of ourselves already.
  • Our forefathers found the evils of free thinking more to be endured than the evils of inquest or suppression. This is because thoughtful, bold and independent minds are essential to wide and considered self-government,
