History teaches that grave threats to liberty often come
in times of urgency, when constitutional rights seem
too extravagant to endure. . . . [W]hen we allow fundamental
freedoms to be sacrificed in the name of real or perceived
exigency we invariably come to regret it. . . . Constitutional
requirements like probable cause are not fair-weather
friends, present when advantageous, conveniently absent
when ‘special needs’ make them seem not.
Skinner, 489 U.S. at 635-36 (Marshall, J., dissenting).
"Great cases, like hard cases, make bad law. For great cases are called great, not by reason of their real importance in shaping the law of the future, but because of some accident of immediate overwhelming interest which appeals to the feelings and distorts the judgment. These immediate interests exercise a kind of hydraulic pressure which makes what previously was clear seem doubtful, and before which even well settled principles of law will bend." Northern Securities Co. v. United States, 193 U.S. 197, 400-401 (1904).
