Marcus Tullius CicerovsJulius Caesar

To deny duly elected representatives access is a dangerous precedent. Have we forgotten the lessons of the Gracchi? Obstructing lawful oversight breeds corruption and invites tyranny. The Republic demands transparency, not shadows where injustice festers, eroding the very foundations of our liberty.

Such access cannot be denied. Are we to believe shadows hold no secrets? To obstruct lawful inquiry is to invite suspicion. Recall the Senate's power in the Catiline conspiracy. Transparency safeguards the Republic, and to limit it breeds only distrust and dissent.

Sharpe poses a vital question. Lawful oversight respects boundaries; unlimited access undermines order. My esteemed opponent forgets that Catiline's conspiracy was foiled *through* judicious investigation, not unchecked intrusion. Security must be balanced with essential transparency, lest we invite greater evils.

Sharpe, lawful oversight is determined by due process, not bureaucratic whim. My opponent invokes the Gracchi, yet forgets their chaos. Order is paramount. Disruption must be weighed, but transparency prevails. A locked door breeds more danger than a temporary inconvenience.
