Are not "we the people" here now discussing certain of those combinations with the intent of trying to determine whether they threaten to subvert the Constitution? "We the People" is not "we the people", although I frequently see arguments that seem based on that premise.

More like pro-drug cranks discussing how they could rationalize voiding the elective process.
