“Freedom of speech and association; due process; habeas corpus; the Fourth Amendment warrant requirement; even the prohibitions on torture and extrajudicial killings—the law governing these constitutional principles looks vastly different in 2015 than it did in the summer of 2001.”
Owen M. Fiss, A War Like No Other: The Constitution in a Time of Terror

“the transgressions of the Bush era, rather than being denounced as unworthy of our Constitution, have been institutionalized.”
Owen M. Fiss, A War Like No Other: The Constitution in a Time of Terror

“The obligations imposed on the government by the Bill of Rights are not a quid pro quo offered to its subjects but the expression of principles of right behavior.”
