The people know best what is best for the people. The governing class no doubt knows what is best for the governing class, but does not necessarily know what is best for the people, and must always be kept in check by the ballot-box.

It's time to face it: democracy is way overrated. There is no way to keep an eye on the cheats, especially now with digital voting machines. Voters fall on a taker/giver bell curve, the left side voting to take from the right. Political fashions are too fickle, creating always shifting rules to the game which favors corrupt insiders and causes great expense to producers. Politicians continually give away the store to get temporarily elected.

A 9-king kingdom may be the way to go, where the kings are sworn to middle-class wealth and can't pass power on to relatives. This is how the Supreme Court is structured, and they have proven to be the most stable, conservative, and corruption-free branch of government.

Democracy sucks. We are a Constitutional Republic. We are not run by a polit-bureau of 9.

We have a system that is being corrupted and is worth fighting for and putting right.

Period.

No Thanks! Ruth Ginsburg and a Wise Latina are not my idea of a stable, conservative and corruption free government. There may be snakes in the congress, but at least we have some chance of getting rid of them. The Wise Latia is there forever and we have no way to be rid of her.
