On Cameras in Supreme Court, Souter Says, 'Over My Dead Body' https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9A00E6D71539F933A05750C0A960958260, The New York Times, March 30, 1996

“What I worry about is that when problems are not addressed, people will not know who is responsible. And when the problems get bad enough – as they might do, for example, another serious terrorist attack, as they might do with another financial meltdown – some one person will come forward and say, "Give me total power, and I will solve this problem." That is how the Roman republic fell…. That is how democracy dies. And if something is not done to improve the level of civic knowledge, that is what you should worry about at night.”
