There are numerous instances in which the social inequality of America may do violence to our notions of abstract justice, but the compromise of interests under which all civilized societies must exist, renders this unavoidable....If we would have civilization and the exertion indispensable to its success, we must have property; if we have property, we must have its rights; if we have the rights of property, we must take those consequences of the rights of property which are inseparable from the rights themselves. The equality of of rights in America, therefore, after allowing for the striking exception of domestic slavery, is only a greater extension of the principles [that] there is no such thing as an equality of condition.

The call to have my client's identity disclosed will fundamentally harm a process that took decades to build. By extension, it will adversely impact Congressional oversight. These consequences, I fear, will be long-lasting, if Congress and others do not protect my client's anonymity -- which my client is afforded to by law -- not only does it jeopardize their safety, but it jeopardizes an entire system that took decades to build. It will destroy effective Congressional oversight for years to come. This is what is at stake. It is time for Members of Congress and our government leaders to internalize this fact.

I think the Prime Minister is on the right side of the law on this occasion. The Benn Act required him to send a letter to the president of the European Council seeking an extension, and that's what he's done. The act doesn't require that he sign the letter, the Benn act has achieved its purpose. The act doesn't require the prime minister to abandon his political objectives, his political beliefs, that we should leave on the 31st.
