Of black-robed tyrants:

“There is no liberty, if the power of judgment be not separated from the legislative and executive powers. Were it joined with the legislative, the life and liberty of the subject would be exposed to arbitrary control, for the judge would be then the legislator. Were it joined to the executive power, the judge might behave with all the violence of the oppressor.”

Charles de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu
The Spirit of the Laws  1748
