"Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the Government's purposes are beneficent. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding."

--Louis Dembitz Brandeis (13 November 1856 - 5 October 1941), SCOTUS

Olmstead v. United States, 277 U.S. 479, 1928

Louis Dembitz Brandeis, a former Supreme Court Justice, brings up an important point about the dangers of government overreach. While it may be tempting to trust the government when their intentions seem pure and benevolent, we must remain vigilant in protecting our individual liberties.

It is our responsibility as citizens to hold those in power accountable and ensure that they do not encroach on our fundamental rights. We must recognize that even well-meaning individuals can make mistakes or act against our best interests without understanding the full consequences of their actions.

Let us always remember Louis Dembitz Brandeis's wise words and remain ever-vigilant in safeguarding our liberty!! #LouisDembitzBrandeis #IndividualLiberty #GovernmentOverreach
