"Experience should teach us to be
most on our guard to protect liberty when the Government's purposes are
beneficent. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion
of their liberty by evil-minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty
lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without
understanding."
--US Supreme Court Justice Louis Dembitz Brandeis (1856-1941),
dissenting, Olmstead v. United States, 277 US
479 (1928)
