Quotation of the Day for April 6, 2011



"Liberty--the freedom from unwarranted intrusion by government--is as easily lost through insistent nibbles by government officials who seek to do their jobs too well as by those whose purpose it is to oppress; the piranha can be as deadly as the shark."

- Alex Kozinski, judge, in United States v. $124,570, 873 F.2d 1240, 1246 (9th Cir. 1989).
