"So that's the dissenter's hope: that they are writing not for today but for tomorrow."

Today

"Dissents speak to a future age."

Age

"When police or prosecutors conceal significant exculpatory or impeaching material, we hold, it is ordinarily incumbent on the state to set the record straight."

Change

Power

"It is not like I have gone crazy, I just don't want to take any chances. You never know what could happen."
