"The Constitution overrides a statute, but a statute, if consistent with the Constitution, overrides the law of judges. In this sense, judge-made law is secondary and subordinate to the law that is made by legislators."
Benjamin N. Cardozo was an American jurist who served as an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court from 1932 to 1938. He is widely cited for influential opinions in tort, contract, and constitutional law.
