This is from last Friday’s speech and Senator Dodd is expected to speak shortly, but I still think this line is worth highlighting:
The compromise between liberty and security remains a difficult one. But dismissing this case at the outset would sacrifice liberty for no apparent enhancement of security.
And that ought to be the epitaph for this presidency: “sacrificing liberty for no apparent enhancement of security.” Worse than selling our soul—giving it away for free! [Emphasis added]
Amen, Senator.
