For years, a rumor has circulated online that former U.S. President Thomas Jefferson said: "When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty."

...

While it is possible Jefferson might have agreed with the quote, it was not possible to find any documented record of him ever producing it in written or verbal form.

...

Other social media users attributed the in-question quote to former South African President Nelson Mandela and late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. However, once again, they provided no evidence that either person originated the quote.

I agree with the quote / statement, BTW.

And when justice becomes vanity, injustice becomes law. Thanks RBG!
