Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer · ¶106

The third clause in which the Solicitor General finds seizure powers is that “he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed....” That authority must be matched against words of the Fifth Amendment that “No person shall be... deprived of life, liberty or property, without due process of law ... One gives a governmental authority that reaches so far as there is law, the other gives a private right that authority shall go no farther. These signify about all there is of the principle that ours is a government of laws, not of men, and that we submit ourselves to rulers only if under rules.
