News:
Many think it not only inevitable but entirely proper that liberty
give way to security in times of national crisis - that at the
extremes of military exigency, inter arma silent leges. Whatever the
general merits of the view that war silence law or modulates its voice,
that view has no place in the interpretation and application of a
Constitution designed precisely to confront war and, in a manner that
accords with democratic principles, to accommodate it.
-- Justice Anton Scalia, Hamdi v. Rumsfeld, June 28 2004
The laws and Constitution are designed to survive, and remain in force, in extraordinary times.
Liberty and security can be reconciled; and in our system they are reconciled within the framework
of the law. The Framers decided that habeas corpus, a right of first importance, must be a part
of that framework, a part of that law.
-- Justice Anthony Kennedy, Boumediene v. Bush, June 12, 2008
