Who has the Liberals Ping List?
Great bodies of men have seldom judged what they ought to do, by any other rule than what they could do. What nation is there that has not oppressed any other, when the same could be done with advantage and security? What party has ever had regard to the principles which they professed, or ever reformed the errors which they condemned? What company, or particular society of merchants or tradesmen, has ever acted for the interest of general trade, though it always filled their mouths in private conversation?
And yet men, thus formed and qualified, are the materials for government. For the sake of men it is instituted, by the prudence of men it must be conducted; and the art of political mechanism is, to erect a firm building with such crazy and corrupt materials.
—Cato's Letters #61, by John Trenchard & Thomas Gordon.
We're still the same species and human nature is still the same.
We have lawmakers and bureaucrats and courts exercising judicial discretion at interpreting constitutional requirements that are not subject to interpretation, thereby making new law and diluting the intent of our Founders. Those actions should be punishable by law, and assigned the sternest punishment, for they are corruption of our blood.
American Leftists despise the Founders, so their quick answer would be an emphatic, YES.
The days are over of being ablw to shame a Democrat by demonstrating that they are violating the Constitution and the Founders’ intent.
