Ha! I don't know if this is true or not, but its fantastic if it is.

Apparently, Gonzales gave a short speech to a group of Georgetown law students on the legality of all that lovely domestic wiretapping. In the middle of it, all the students got up and turned their backs to him. Then several other students came in with a large banner with a quote from Ben Franklin: "Those who would sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither." (According to MSNBC that's a loose quote)

The full quote is "They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security". one of a zillion sources

Saw it live on CNN. When the Georgetown Law students, who went there because what they really wanted in life was a career in politics and/or government, are turning their backs on the Atty Gen? You know it's serious. There are a lot of bowtie wearing conservatives at that school. On the other hand, most of them have actually read the constitution.
