Dahlia Lithwick
“The fact that the Constitution is sufficiently open-ended to infuriate all Americans almost equally is part of its enduring genius.”
Dahlia Lithwick

Dale Carpenter
“Start with the observation that American law is not designed to catch and punish every instance of illegal conduct. Nothing short of a totalitarian state could do that. It is designed to prosecute persons when there is a reasonable basis for believing they have committed a crime, and then to convict them when there is no reasonable doubt that they are guilty.”
Dale Carpenter, Flagrant Conduct: The Story of Lawrence v. Texas
