Brandeis

At the foundation of our civil liberty lies the principle which denies to government officials an exceptional position before the law and which subjects them to the same rules of conduct that are commands to the citizen.

Judge Louis Brandeis, Dissent, Burdeau v. McDowell, 256 U.S. 465, 477 (1921).
