Supporting Those Who Defend Our Rights and Freedoms
"It is easy to make light of insistence on scrupulous regard for the safeguards of civil liberties when invoked on behalf of the unworthy (or unpopular). History bears testimony that by such disregard are the rights of liberty extinguished, heedlessly at first, then stealthily, and brazenly in the end."
-- Felix Frankfurter
