its something about who will watch those who make the law or something.... I'm having a total brain fart right now but I'm trying to include it in a paper...
its something like "(something something something) but who will watch the watchers?"
I dont think the word "watchers" is used though... is that it?
Sorry if this doesnt make much sense :(

yeah... FRAGINAL-NOYPI... I understand the way law and the constitution works, that wasnt what I was asking for mmkay thanks. I was asking what the specific quote was... I think "who will guard the guards" was what I was thinking of.

Found it:
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? is a Latin phrase from the Roman poet Juvenal, variously translated as "Who will guard the guards?", "Who watches the watchmen?", "Who shall watch the watchers themselves?", or similar.

"Who watches the watchers?" is a quote
It is the popular translation of "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?", sometimes seen as "Who shall watch the watchers themselves?" or "Who Guards the Guards?"
From the 1st century.

The Judiciary can review the acts of the Lawmakers if they abuse their authority. This power of judicial review is enshrined in the Constitution to protect the people.
