Attorney General Eric Holder at the podium addressing the attendees at the U.S. Constitution Awards dinner. "Just as surely as we are a nation at war, we also are a nation of laws. This means that the government's powers are defined both by our tangible laws - the Constitution, statutes, court precedents - and also by the basic principle of the rule of law. Within this framework, I believe we must do everything within our legal power to protect the American people. "
