This Republic was founded in part because of the arrogance of a king who expected his subjects to do as they were told, without question, without hesitation. Our forefathers overthrew that tyrant and adopted a system of government where dissent is not only important, but it is also mandatory. Questioning flawed leadership is a requirment of this government. Faling to question, failing to speak out, is failing the legacy of the Founding Fathers.
U.S, Senator Robert Byrd, April 7, 2004
