Who do you think made this government? Aliens? It has grown into what it is because that is what the majority wanted. Our problem is not so much who is in it but that it reflects what the People have wanted. Without a massive change in how people think (mainly women actually) there will be no significant change.

Just because you do not like the representation or agree with it does not change the fact that we have it.

Executive fiat is not representation. The Caesars succeeded in eliminating the Roman Republic Senate in the same manner you prescribe... all by popular fiats.

That fits Venezuela and it almost fit Chile. I suppose the minority could just accept that as their fate and let liberty be taken because after all, it is what the majority wants. Does failing to effect a massive change in how people think mean we must accept tyranny? I'm all for changing peoples minds but you do reach a point where you say my liberty is more important than their comfort.

“It has grown into what it is because that is what the majority wanted.”

That would be all well and good if we were a democracy. We aren’t. how sickening and just plain sad that I have to read this sort of thing of FR, as well as every other damn place.

Have we had an election where a majority of eligible Americans actually voted?

If has grown into what it is because the majority quit paying attention and/or have been misinformed and/or quit playing and stay home.

I doubt the SC's decisions here fully reflect a majority opinion, but it's what we have in our more or less one party system, complete with its false choices every election.

The election game is rigged. You won't get serious Constitutional changes until you first change the game, but there's no way the PTBs will let that happen, as votes, legislation and rulings continue to show.
