During the Scopes trial, Clarence Darrow cited these sentiments from historian George Bancroft (1800-1891).
"It is all right to preserve freedom in constitutions, but when the spirit of freedom has fled from the hearts of the people, then its matter is easily sacrificed under law."
Better watch your congresses, courts, and executive branches when they seek to vitiate the Constitution and usurp power that was given to the people. It's happening every day.
