 "But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case it is unfit to exist."

It's from Spooner's No Treason essay. 

BTW I have a friend who named his kid Lysander after Spooner. Based as fuck. šŸ˜‚
