"This bill would renounce the safe, proper, and acceptable role for Government as a referee of disputes between the governed. It would interpose the Government as a biased protagonist, armed with the awesome authority of the Federal Government, in addition to rulemaking and umpire powers.

But unless you make the jump, you'll never know what's on the other side. You just gotta find the guts to do it.”
