URGENT! Pro-Constitution/anti-Bush quotes by Republicans, framers needed!

[Fiendish Thingy]

Hello Brother and Sister DU'ers,

I am creating a media kit revolving around Al Gore's speech on MLK day;
I need some quotes by Republicans around impeachment, wiretapping, the rule of law (can be Clinton impeachment related), and the Constitution. The quotes can be specifically anti-Bush, or generally pro-Constitution. The closer in context to Gore's speech the better. Brief is better.
I also need some quotes by the framers re: limits of Executive power, separation of power etc.
A sprinkling of quotes by Dems would be OK too.

I recall in recent weeks seeing some quotes by Specter, Chuck Hagel, Bob Barr, McCain, etc.
I know there's a James Madison quote about tyranny, and some Jefferson quotes too. I've got the Ben Franklin quote about security and liberty already.

Cutting and pasting of quotes to this thread would be best, but links are OK too, what's important is, in addition to the quote, you include the speaker's name, the context (from a speech, book, document, etc.) and date, if possible, and any other relevant info.

Many thanks in advance; I greatly appreciate this time saving assistance while I spend the rest of my weekend hunched over my Mac working feverishly with iMovie and iDVD to create a video that, once distributed by our own DU activists, will hopefully stir even more citizens to action...

1. The Cato Institute, among other Conservative Groups are opposed

to the Patriot Act.

The Patriot Act was designed to reduce privacy and increase security. It has succeeded in at least reducing privacy.

Financial privacy is essentially gone. The feds have turned banks, brokerage houses, insurers and other financial institutions into state informers. Those firms must notify the Treasury Department about "suspicious" transactions, and the government can subpoena your checking-account records even if there is no evidence of wrongdoing.

The FBI can use Section 215 to obtain personal belongings — anything, really — directly from a person's home.
