Ted Koppel from the late 1990s
The takeaway: Governments don't grant people their rights. Rights are not given - they're inherent. We have those rights no matter what.
Petty ambitious people will always be selfishly motivated to use government power to gain advantage for themselves by denying others their rights, so government has to be constructed and maintained in ways that countervail that selfish impulse - so that government isn't allowed to deny us those rights.
FIGHTING FOR EVERYBODY'S RIGHTS
IS EVERYBODY'S FIGHT
