Commission Charged

Famous quotes containing the words commission and/or charged:

    Yesterday the Electoral Commission decided not to go behind the papers filed with the Vice-President in the case of Florida.... I read the arguments in the Congressional Record and can’t see how lawyers can differ on the question. But the decision is by a strictly party vote—eight Republicans against seven Democrats! It shows the strength of party ties.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    I am trembling:
    I am suddenly charged with their language, these six strings,
    Suddenly made to see they can declare
    Nothing but harmony, and may not move
    Without a happy stirring of the air
    That builds within this room a second room....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
