“Liberty is not something a government gives you. It is a right that no government can legally take away.”
A.E. Samaan

Finley Peter Dunne
“Look it over some time. 'T is fine spoort if ye don't care f r checkers. Some say it laves th' flag up in th' air an' some say that's where it laves th' constitution. Annyhow, something'» in th' air. But there's wan thing I 'm sure about."
" What's that ?" asked Mr. Hennessy.
" That is," said Mr. Dooley, " no matther whether th' constitution follows th' flag or not, th' supreme coort follows th' iliction returns.”
Finley Peter Dunne, Mr. Dooley's Opinions
