President John F. Kennedy - "Secrecy Is Repugnant"

"A law repugnant to the Constitution is void. An act of Congress repugnant
to the Constitution cannot become a law. The Constitution supersedes
all other laws and the individual’s rights shall be liberally enforced
in favor of him, the clearly intended and expressly designated
beneficiary.” –Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137 (1803)
“An unconstitutional law is void and is as no law. An offense created by it
is not crime. A conviction under it is not merely erroneous but is
illegal and void and cannot be used as a legal cause of imprisonment.”–
Ex parte Siebold, 100 U.S. 371 (1879)
“An unconstitutional act is not law. It confers no rights; it imposes no duties; affords no
protection; it creates no office. It is, in legal contemplation, as
inoperative as though it had never been passed.” – Norton v. Shelby County, 118 U.S. 425 (1886)
