Quote from Justice Louis D. Brandeis 

"Decency, security, and liberty alike
demand that government officials shall be
subjected to the same rules of conduct
that are commands to the citizen...
If the government becomes a lawbreaker,
it breeds contempt for law;
it invites every man to become a law unto himself;
it invites anarchy."
