"No tyranny is more cruel than the one practiced in the shadow of the laws and under color of justice — when,
so to speak, one proceeds to drown the unfortunate on the very plank by which they had saved themselves. And since
a tyrant never lacks instruments for his tyranny, Tiberius always found judges ready to condemn as many people as
he might suspect."
~ Charles de Secondat, baron de Montesquieu
