“Many think it not only inevitable but entirely proper that liberty give way to security in times of national crisis--that, at the extremes of military exigency, inter arma silent leges. Whatever the general merits of the view that war silences law or modulates its voice, that view has no place in the interpretation and application of a Constitution designed precisely to confront war and, in a manner that accords with democratic principles, to accommodate it.” ThinkingWayGivingWarLawVoiceViewsSilenceLibertyPrinciplesSecurityMilitaryConstitutionCrisisDemocraticSilentExtremesInevitableMeritInterpretationApplicationAccordAccommodate Book:Scalia's Court: A Legacy of Landmark Opinions and Dissents Source: Scalia's Court: A Legacy of Landmark Opinions and Dissents
“A wrong attitude towards nature implies, somewhere, a wrong attitude towards God, and that the consequence is an inevitable doom.
