Thomas Jefferson, the same guy who penned a fairly scorching list of grievances against unaccountable, tyrannical government, entitled the Declaration of Independence, called the federal judiciary the “least dangerous” branch.”

Ouch. This is a zinger. Author should have taken the two minutes to google.

That quote is from Federalist 78. Written by Hamilton.

With regards to Hamilton’s authorship of the Federalist and his relationship with Jefferson, I’d encourage the author to watch the musical....

They hated each other.

I’m sure Jefferson recognized Hamilton for the danger he presented to the republic with his penchant for centralized banking, deficit spending and all the rest.

My understanding of that period of history is that he met Aaron Burr on the field of honor about 10 years too late to prevent the progressive disease Hamilton was spreading from infecting both chambers of government as well as the judiciary.

If anyone is interested in the Federalist papers, I have some pages in the history section of one of my websites. I picked up a copy of the original Minutes and got interested in the topic because a couple of my uncles were involved.

T. Jefferson, the same guy who was royally phissed when Aaron Burr was found not guilty of treason? The same guy who verbally shat on Chief Justice Marshall?
