(With apologies to Martin Niemoller)

First they came for the due process rights of people accused of being terorrists, and Congress said nothing.
Then they came for the privacy rights of Americans to not have their telephone calls analyzed, and Congress said nothing.
Then they came for the right of Congress to make the laws (with "signing statements"), and Congress said nothing.
Then they came for the right to not be tortured, and Congress said nothing.
And when they came for the papers of a Congressman – with a warrant – and suddenly, they discover the preciousness of the Constitution.
