“I will not let the Patriot Act, the most unpatriotic of acts, go
unchallenged. At the very least, we should debate. We should debate
whether or not we are going to relinquish our rights, or whether or not
we are going to have a full and able debate over whether or not we can
live within the Constitution, or whether or not we have to go around the
Constitution.” ~Rand Paul - NSA Filibuster
“We have to decide whether our fear is going to get the better of us.
Once upon a time we had a standard in our country that was ‘innocent
until proven guilty.’ We’ve given up on so much. Now, people are
talking about a standard that is ‘if you have nothing to hide, you have
nothing to fear.’ Think about it. Is that the standard we’re willing
to live under?” ~Rand Paul - NSA Filibuster
