Soames? Jefferson's quote: "justice cannot sleep forever"
reminds me mostly of that colleague of the other Soames, 
crewman of The Seahorse, Veevle [54.3], and Veevle of Yeats'
The Second Coming:

    The darkness drops again, but now I know
    That twenty centuries of stony sleep
    Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
    And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
    Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
