"Laws are maintained in credit, not because they are essentially just, but because they are laws. It is the mystical foundation of their authority; they have none other." ~ Michel de Montaigne “When law and morality contradict each other the citizen has the cruel alternative of either losing his sense of morality or losing his respect of the law.” — Frederic Bastiat
"As the interned American citizens of Japanese descent learned, the Bill of Rights provided them with little protection when it was needed." ~ Glenn Harlan Reynolds
