The lawyer character in this "Boston Legal" clip quotes Adlai Stevenson "Nature of Patriotism" which can be read here.
<i>Last night I went to bed with a book, not nearly as much fun as a 29 year old, but the book contained a speech by Adele Stevenson. The year was 1952, he said 'The tragedy of our day is the climate of fear in which we live and fear breeds repression. Too often sinister threats to the Bill of Rights, to freedom of the mind, are concealed under the cloak of anti-Communism.' Today, it's the cloak of anti-Terrorism. Stevenson also remarked that it's far easier to fight for principles than to live up to them. I know we are all afraid, but the Bill of Rights, we have to live up to that, we simply must.</i>

Would that the national outcry against the current tyranny was so loud and clear and outspoken.
Sleepy-eyed Spader's for free speech, as long as it's politically correct. Fuck 'im.
