Vang Pao's Allies Push For Arlington Burial

"It would reduce the whole instrument to a single phrase, that of instituting a Congress with power to do whatever would be for the good of the United States; and as they would be the sole judges of the good or evil, it would be also a power to do whatever evil they please. Certainly no such universal power was meant to be given them. It [the Constitution] was intended to lace them up straightly within the enumerated powers and those without which, as means, these powers could not be carried into effect."
--Thomas Jefferson, Opinion on a National Bank, 1791

"The former Laotian army general died Thursday in Clovis, Calif., at age 81. Starting in 1961, he led Hmong forces in covert alliance with the U.S. Thousands died; thousands more fled to the U.S. following the 1975 communist victory in Laos."
