The creationist account is as factual, historical and perspicuous and is thus fundamental in the understanding of every fact and phenomenon in the created universe.

John Rohr (1976)

[The administrative state is legitimate because it] is consistent with the Constitution, fulfills its design, and heals a longstanding major defect.
