Richard Posner, who seems to get stupider every day, had this to say this morning on NPR about the tension between liberty and security.
Judge POSNER: If the country feels it's in danger, yeah, there are going to be abuses and excesses, but that's life.
Not so different from his impassioned defense of Bush v. Gore which amounted to "well, someone had to step in and do something. That's life!"
