Law and Legislation: In the second half of the twentieth century, courts have become the most powerful of the three branches of U.S. government, impacting the lives of every American citizen every day. Though the specificity of laws have long-term impact upon our position in society, few of us (can or do) follow legal institutions closely enough to understand their significance well. This collection should allow interested readers to acquire a greater general competence in issues of the contemporary American legal system.

If the Government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. To declare that in the administration of the criminal law the end justifies the means -- to declare that the Government may commit crimes in order to secure the conviction of a private criminal -- would bring terrible retributions. --Justice Louis D. Brandeis, dissenting, Olmstead et al. v. United States, 277 U.S. 438, at 485 (1928)

"The most effective way of making people accept the validity of the values they are to serve is to persuade them that they are really the same as those which they... have always held, but which were not properly understood or recognized before. And the most efficient technique to this end is to use the old words but change their meaning. Few traits of totalitarian regimes are at the same time so confusing to the superficial observer and yet so characteristic of the whole intellectual climate as the complete perversion of language, the change of meaning of the words by which the ideals of the new regimes are expressed." -- F. A. Hayek
