“The president cannot use the pursuit of national security as a carte blanche to undermine the very freedoms that define America. This administration - like that of President Nixon - has apparently secretly adopted a legal view of the Executive Branch's power that is unbounded. A commitment to the Constitution and our laws demand an independent investigation.”
Caroline Fredrickson
“If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom.”
Dwight David Eisenhower
“When presidents have overstepped the rule of law, history demonstrates how it undermined our core freedoms. We hope that Congress will assert its proper oversight role and demand accountability from the administration. The American people deserve no less from their government. Freedom and liberty must not be trumped by presidential power.”
“If you look at it from a security of supply perspective, the US will not accept anything which undermines its coal in the power generation sector.”
Christian Egenhofer
“We must not allow our president to be undermined by those who want his job,”
Tom DeLay
“Physical infidelity is the signal, the notice given, that all fidelities are undermined.”
Katherine Anne Porter
“Nothing's so apt to undermine your confidence in a product as knowing that the commercial selling it has been approved by the company that makes it.”
Benjamin Franklin
