It's not just about abortion, it's about the next 20 years. Twenties and Thirties it was the role of government, Fifties and Sixties it was civil rights. The next two decades it's gonna be privacy. I'm talking about the Internet. I'm talking about cell phones. I'm talking about health records and who's gay and who's not. And moreover, in a country born on the will to be free, what could be more fundamental than this?
I love this quote for so many reasons. One of the main ones is that it was written almost ten years ago. And the past ten years have been largely about privacy and health records and the Internet. Oh Aaron Sorkin! Why couldn't you write more stuff like The West Wing!

Out of curiosity: what's the quote you were looking for?
Something about how every four years we get to overthrow the government. It may have been The American President or, you know, something completely unrelated.
There's Amy in The Two Bartlets: "It's really something every two years we get to overthrow a government."
Yes, that's it! Thank you!
Always glad to be of service...
