"I discharge every person under punishment or prosecution
under the Sedition Law, because I considered, and now consider,
that law to be a nullity as absolute and palpable as if Congress
had ordered us to fall down and worship a golden image." | by: | Thomas Jefferson
(1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President |
