Carl Tobias Government Quotations

The government may have overstated the dire circumstances going in. But when they actually came to prosecute the case, it didn't seem as dire or as strong a case when they came to the courthouse.

The government is going to lose a very good ruling to avoid having this go before the Supreme Court.

If the government does not so tie him, this may weaken the case in the jury's eyes.

It seems to me that it would be relevant to a person's case. I would expect the government to say that it is highly sensitive material, but we have legal mechanisms to balance the national security needs with the rights of defendants. I think judges are very conscientious about trying to sort out these issues and balance civil liberties and national security.
