Secondly, the US Constitution was crafted to prevent the erosion of true rights by allowing politicians, ie demagogues, to substitute fiat "rights' in their place.
The breakdown in the scheme is when the Supreme Court becomes so politicized that it is no longer a check on the abuses of the other branches of gov.
Hard and disciplined study is required to determine how to fix this flaw or we are all in a terrible fix.
We are a republic for the moment. People can’t move fast enough to become a Democracy. Even on this forum supposedly cosevative, the howls were that Trump was cheated because he won the popular vote and yet, not some of the state’s delagates. It is interesting that many here jumped on the first populist to come along in a while, because they thought he represented the change that they wanted. The reason that I posted this is to give pause for thought to those who actally want to think. I will never convince anyone with rhetoric, nor would I care to even try. However, this has been a decent conservative forum in the past, and I hope that the morons go back to where they reside. The amount of rancor that has permeated this forum has rendered it no better than the DU. Since this is Jim Robinson’s livelihood, I hope he can get it back under control.
