The first sentence is all you need to read. We are NOT a “democracy” we are a representative republic.

[Louis Foxwell]

Precisely. Democracy is the death knell of constitutional government. In the progressive mind the majority rules. The minority is trampled under foot. Now that they are in the minority they are running scared because they have no faith in the republic or constitutional government.

Liberals are such idiots. Yes, I said IDIOTS. I had one tell me that they were a Democrat because the democrats are for democracy ie "the name proves they are for democracy, the country, the people." How crazy is that??

Then I heard Mara Liason say on Special Report (many yrs ago) that the voters in NYC were more sophisticated than other parts of the country. One wk later, a reporter was interviewing people on the streets of NYC about the upcoming election. The person said they were voting for one candidate because the candidate was Hispanic. How sophisticated is that??

Most Liberals are idiots.

Article IV, Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government

[Gaffer]

A Republic already contains the representational government. It is the Constitutional part that puts the teeth in Constitutional Republic.

THAT'S ALL I NEED TO HEAR. WALKER 2016!

We are NOT a “democracy” we are a representative republic.

Yes, save for the local level and with exception to States with voter initiatives/referendums.

I don't give the source any credence, nor defend the content or suggest that is the case here, but there does exist a problem when voters enact something and the Courts or 'representative leadership' neuter it for spurious reasons.
