Liberty and security
An appeal to authority offers a weak arguement, but 3 dead American presidents said it as well as it can be said:
“Those who would trade safety for freedom deserve neither.”
—Thomas Jefferson
“Those that would sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither liberty nor security.”
—Ben Franklin
“Those who are ready to sacrifice freedom for security ultimately will lose both.”
—Abraham Lincoln
It seems Mr. Bush doesn'tagree.
Perhaps an impeachment would get him to think about his obligation to abide by the law.
