"When you're in a position of power, particularly in government, the temptation is always to assume that you know best, and that you have a greater right to information than the public does."

"The government has granted itself power it is not entitled to. There is no public oversight. The result is people like myself have the latitude to go further than they are allowed to."

"The government is not transparent."

"The government has an obligation to protect the public, but it also has an obligation to respect their rights."

"We need to fight for our rights, because no one else will."
