REsearching the quotation itself, leads me to believe that it must have been a statement to the press or something of that nature, and not a USSC case opinion. The quotation however, has gained much attention since that time.
Though the Atomic bomb is a dirty bomb, does not alter the fact that it is a very formidable weapon. Likewise this quotation. In the eyes of those who adore the concept of 'democracy' and are therefore praising anyone of such grand estate having made such a statement, it is and can be used as a weapon for those that do not give so much praise toward the current and socially acceptable NOTION of the status of this nations form of government. I prefer to use this instrument as a weapon to the demise of 'democracy' and the re-birth of the Republican form of government.
