Indifference to Illegality of Illinois Stay-at-Home Order is Frightening
[WirePoints] Over two thousand years ago, Marcus Tullius Cicero devoted his life to a struggle to preserve the best of the Roman Republic — constitutional checks on power, the rule of law and, to a significant degree for the age, democracy and individual rights.It’s all there in Cicero’s story — all of today’s battles for the same goals. Some of those battles were small and some large, some fought in court and some on the battlefield, but many were ultimately decided not by law or armies but by the power of public opinion. And so it has been for the centuries since Cicero. A Star Wars sequel gave us a modern adage for the role of public opinion: Liberty dies with thunderous applause. Posted by: Clem 2020-05-04 |
