If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. To declare that the end justifies the means -- to declare that the government may commit crimes -- would bring terrible retribution.” ~ Justice Louis D. Brandeis (1856-1941) US Supreme Court JusticeSource: Olmstead v. United States, 277 US 438, 1928
