“If Nixon is not forced to turn over tapes of his conversations with the ring of men who were conversing on their violations of the law, then liberty will soon be dead in this nation. If Nixon gets away with that, then Nixon makes the law as he goes along - not the Congress nor the courts. The old Court you and I served so long will not be worthy of its traditions if Nixon can twist, turn and fashion the law as he sees fit.” IfsLongLawTurnsFashionTraditionCourtCongressWorthyGet AwayTwists Author:Earl Warren

“When an individual is taken into custody or otherwise deprived of his freedom by the authorities in any significant way and is subjected to questioning... He must be warned prior to any questioning that he has the right to remain silent, that anything he says can be used against him in a court of law, that he has the right to the presence of an attorney, and that, if he cannot afford an attorney one will be appointed for him prior to any questioning if he so desires.” IfsLawUsedDesireIndividualTakenAuthorityCourtSilentIndividualityQuestioningDeprivedAttorneyCustody Author:Earl Warren
“Churchmen are quick to defend religious freedom; lawyers were never so universally aroused as by President Roosevelt's Court bill; newspapers are most alert to civil liberties when there is a hint of press censorship in the air. And educators become perturbed at every effort to curb academic freedom. But too seldom do all of these become militant when ostensibly the rights of only one group are threatened. They do not always react to the truism that when the rights of any individual or group are chipped away, the freedom of all erodes.” PoliticsIndividualPresidentReligiousEffortLibertyRightsGroupsAirBillsCourtPressesLawyerNewspapersCensorshipAcademicThreatenedHintsEducatorCivil LibertiesReligious FreedomMilitantCurbErodeTruismAcademic FreedomPresident Roosevelt Author:Earl Warren
