Who will rein in Congress? Who will rein in the Executive Branch when the wrong people are in power? Who will rein in the federal government and allow the states to run their own affairs as was always intended?

I believe that is supposed to be the voters job.

"I believe that is supposed to be the voters job."

Really? Does the Contitution even grant us the right to vote?

We do not live in a democracy. 51% of the population cannot pass unconstitutional laws, no matter how much they want to.

The Judicial branch of our government exists to prevent the majority from walking over the minority's rights.

voters can only vote for who's running, and way too many are completely un-informed (a coworker touts that she voted for gore in 2000 because he 'looked' better than bush) The large majority of the population knows what they believe in and want and they are split so close to 50/50 that it's left to the completely un-informed and un-interested to cast the tie breaking vote. instead of get out the vote drives the republicans shoud sponsor educate the vote drives and maybe things would change....
