A great deal of food for thought.

Constant's utopian visions: "active and constant participation in collective power [by every citizen]"; "sub[mission] to all the citizens without exception the care and assessment of their most sacred interests;" [and] ennoble[ment] [of the people's] thoughts and establish[ment] among them [of] a kind of intellectual equality which forms the glory and power of a people."

This is exactly the kind of statist crap that our nation abjures with all its heart and soul. Breyer has no business on the Supreme Court if this is his philosophy. Impeachment and removal is in order.

"The associate justice discovers a new constitutional right that had eluded his predecessors for more than two centuries — the people's right to an active and sleepless participation in the exercise of sovereign power, and elaborates that, "The people must have room to decide and leeway to make mistakes."

Why, I had no idea that the Supreme Court of the United States had such intellect.

Breyer's "room" should be an 8' X 8' cell and the "leeway" should be the amount of space the rope swings back and forth after the trap is sprung.

It is articles like this that drive home the point that the 4 million vote plurality was but a whisker.
