"Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect libertywhen the Government's purposes are beneficent. Men born to freedom arenaturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-mindedrulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachmentby men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding."
-- Justice Louis D. Brandeis
