Big Brother in the form of an increasingly powerful government and in an increasingly powerful private sector will pile the records high with reasons… - William O. Douglas

The law is not a series of calculating machines where answers come tumbling out when the right levers are pushed.

The critical question of "standing" would be simplified and also put neatly in focus if we fashioned a federal rule that allowed environmental issues to be litigated before federal agencies or federal courts in the name of the inanimate object about to be despoiled, defaced, or invaded by roads and bulldozers and where injury is the subject of public outrage. Contemporary public concern for protecting nature's ecological equilibrium should lead to the conferral of standing upon environmental objects to sue for their own preservation. This suit would therefore be more properly labeled as Mineral King v. Morton.

Tell the FBI that the kidnappers should pick out a judge that Nixon wants back.
