"sic semper tyrannis"

Althouse discusses Judge Sanders and his cries of "tyrant" shortly before Attorney General Mukasey collapsed the other night

An unknown person in a large crowd shouts "tyrant" at a political leader. If he knows history, it should strike fear into his heart. It would feel like the prelude to assassination. And yet, you would keep speaking. Nothing has happened yet, so of course, you go on, terror gnawing at your consciousness...

... men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth....

I don't know. I'm sure someone, somewhere, has shouted tyrant at the man before this. If someone shouted tyrant at me I'd probably be a little flattered....
