quote for the day
"The guarding of military and diplomatic secrets at the expense of informed representative government provides no real security for our Republic."
Justice Hugo Black, in siding with the constitution against Richard Nixon concerning the release of the Pentagon Papers by the New York Times. If we just had a few Hugo Blacks on the court Bush would not be getting away with his dismantling of the constitution.
