Do you think the American people are inherently informed by the desires of a mob that they would elect people to Congress who would take away their own freedoms? Judges already are taking it away from them. I fail to see how Congresscritters would make it worse.

That sets up a false choice, as between two rulers, which is better. The Constitution says pick neither, because, as an individual, you need not be so bound.

As for the masses, they vote for bread and circuses.

I'm no fan of majority rule, and certainly no fan of democracy.
