"If a government’s actions in a democracy require masks — if the people being governed in that democracy cannot know who is acting — that is a problem with what the government is doing, not with the governed."

"In fact, outside of the second Trump administration, I can really only think of two other instances where the government so fastidiously protects anonymity: The death chamber and the shadow docket.

The exceptions really do prove the rule."
