Quote by Earl Warren

“The mere summoning of a witness and compelling him to testify against his will, about his beliefs, expressions or associations, is a measure of governmental interference. And when those forced revelations concern maters that are unorthodox, unpopular, or even hateful to the general public, the reactions in the life of the witness may be disastrous.”

Night life comes out of a bottle and goes into a jar. If you think how much are the drinks it is not night life.”
