History Forum / War History / US Civil War / October 2006An interesting quote...
While looking for other things I found the following, which I think is interesting in the light of many of our discussions here. On Sept. 20, 1810, Thomas Jefferson wrote the following to one John Colvin: "To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means." JFE > "To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law. . ." Interesting: It seems to me that everyone here who have commented in support for a "scrupulous adherence to written law" are also on record as supporting the loss of our country. |
