Decency, Security, and liberty alike demand that government officials shall be subjected to the same rules of conduct that are commands to the citizen . In a government of laws, existence of the government will be imperiled if it fails to observe the law scrupulously. Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or ill, it teaches the whole people by its example.
Crime is contagious.
Against that pernicious doctrine this Court should resolutely set its face. It is time that we face the fact that crime is contagious. Executive Actions which are in Contempt of the Congress and its Authority given by the people combined under democratic principles, constitutes an Executive Rebellion against the Rule of Law by the Congress and can only lead to the destruction of our Self-Governance, and therefore teaches lawlessness. One only has to look at what our Public Schools have become to see what the results of the Government examples taught to our children. This amoral ' Executive Rebellion ' is an insidious disease that harms us all.
