Tom Ehrich: "If there is any document that needs to be preserved from religious squabbling and moralizing, it is the Constitution. The Constitution doesn't exist to resolve religious disputes. It exists to provide a just and equitable environment of laws and rights in which citizens can address religious issues, along with equally thorny issues involving human rights, property rights and competing claims for power."

ZDNet: "And you net-neutrality-fighting telcos who are complaining that it can't be done, it needs to be done. If your stock price takes a hit and your institutional investors want your CEO's head, well then, it isn't my problem. But if you are going to slow down some content and retard new content creators from coming into being and prominence, I am a content guy. And it is my problem."

Shmuel Rosner (via Slate): "Here's one lesson Americans can definitely draw from the Israeli experience of building a fence to separate them from the Palestinians: High fences don't always make good neighbors. It didn't happen in the West Bank, and it probably won't happen in Texas. The country that builds the fence buys a sense of security, but the people prevented from getting to work, or shopping, or marrying someone on the other side will not be thankful for it. And the reason is pretty obvious: Fences work.
Thanks to Bruce Schneier for the link.
