to appoint the competent and to remove the incompetent.
Our increasingly difficult problems of crime and
juvenile and adult delinquency will not be solved by
the constitution we draft, but we can in the constitution
provide the cornerstone which will form a basis for
the solution of those problems. I firmly believe that
crime and delinquency can be controlled if we have wide-
spread respect for the law by citizens in every social and
economic strata.
We can have such widespread respect for the law
if we provide in the constitution for a judicial system
capable of administering justice -- justice as between
the state and the individual and justice as between man
and: man -- speedily, efficiently and with finality; but,
to do this,we must provide at every level of the judicial
system judges who are trained in the law, judges who are
not only not mediocre or barely qualified, or even highly
qualified, but judges at every level of the judicial system
who are the best available -- the best of the best.
We must provide a system which will create courts
that are unmistakably courts so that every person knows
when he enters the courtroom that he is in a court of law
