The fall of an empire is supposed to be a dramatic thing. But the reality is far less exciting. It happens in the text of legislation nobody bothered reading, in local elections nobody followed, in a thousand tiny disasters that amounted to a thousand little cuts on the body politic.

More of this. Constantly. Every chance we have, more of this.

ICYMI - @americanbar.org today: "We reject the notion that the U.S. government can punish lawyers and law firms who represent certain clients or punish judges who rule certain ways. We cannot accept government actions that seek to twist the scales of justice in this manner." tinyurl.com/4ehjrh56

"Throughout our history, Americans have resisted power grabs that threaten our rights and freedoms. Today, we must resist again — together." ACS is proud to join over 100 civil rights organizations in signing this open letter. civilrights.org/wp-content/u...

The liberties of our country, the freedoms of our civil Constitution are worth defending at all hazards; it is our duty to defend them against all attacks.

It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men (and women).

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, may posterity forget that you were our countrymen

..whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety..

Things fall apart;the centre cannot hold;Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere the ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.
