The First Amendment issue here is, as the parties frame it, fairly narrow: is there a constitutionally protected right to videotape police carrying out their duties in public? Basic First Amendment principles, along with case law from this and other circuits, answer that question unambiguously in the affirmative. – Kermit Victor Lipez Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of Conservatives is to prevent mistakes from being corrected. Even when the revolutionist might himself repent of his revolution, the traditionalist is already defending it as part of his tradition. Thus we have two great types -- the advanced person who rushes us into ruin, and the retrospective person who admires the ruins. He admires them especially by moonlight, not to say moonshine. Each new blunder of the progressive or prig becomes instantly a legend of immemorial antiquity for the snob. This is called the balance, or mutual check, in our Constitution. – Gilbert Keith Chesterton Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
Democracy, then, in the centralizing, pattern-making, absolutist shape which we have given to it is, it is clear, the time of tyranny's incubation. – Bertrand de Jouvenel Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
To include freedom in the very definition of democracy is to define a process not by its actual characteristics as a process but by its hoped for results. This is not only intellectually invalid, it is, in practical terms, blinding oneself in advance to some of the unwanted consequences of the process – Thomas Sowell Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
It is madness beyond compare to try to reform the world. – Moliere Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
Most of the major ills of the world have been caused by well-meaning people who ignored the principle of individual freedom, except as applied to themselves, and who were obsessed with fanatical zeal to improve the lot of mankind-in-the-mass through some pet formula of their own. The harm done by ordinary criminals, murderers, gangsters, and thieves is negligible in comparison with the agony inflicted upon human beings by the professional do-gooders, who attempt to set themselves up as gods on earth and who would ruthlessly force their views on all others - with the abiding assurance that the end justifies the means. – Henry Grady Weaver Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway. – Earl Nightingale Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
Men being by nature all free, equal and independent, no one can be put out of his estate and subjected to the political power of another without his own consent which is done by agreeing with other men, to join and unite into a community for their comfortable, safe, and peaceable living in a secure enjoyment of their properties. – John Locke Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once. – Robert A. Heinlein Famous Quote	added 1 year ago

There are some who've forgotten why we have a military. It's not to promote war; it's to be prepared for peace. – President Ronald Reagan Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
The Executive should be able to repel and not to commence war. – Roger Sherman Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
[W]e made a great mistake in the beginning of our struggle, and I fear, in spite of all we can do, it will prove to be a fatal mistake. We appointed all our worst generals to command our armies, and all our best generals to edit the newspapers. – Robert E. Lee Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
In order for a war to be just, three things are necessary. First, the authority of the sovereign.... Secondly, a just cause.... Thirdly... a rightful intention. – Saint Thomas Aquinas Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars. – Khalil Gibran Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
I do not trust my eyes to tell me what a man is: I have a better and more trustworthy light by which I can distinguish what is true from what is false: let the mind find out what is good for the mind. – Lucius Annaeus Seneca Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
The American press is extraordinarily free and vigorous, as it should be. It should be, not because it is free of inaccuracy, oversimplification and bias, but because the alternative to that freedom is worse than those failings. – Robert Bork Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
Discipline is doing what you hate to do, but nonetheless doing it like you love it. – Mike Tyson Famous Quote	added 1 year ago
