Two different subjects. The Constitution enumerates our rights, and restricts the federal govt.
If we don't "rule" through our elected representatives, please explain to me just who the ef is in charge? Your buddies, the federal judges?

Scotsman will be Free claims:

The public "rules" through our elected representatives.

Please, try to justify your theory by quoting our Constitution.
You will find that everyone in the USA is bound to support our supreme "Law of the Land"; -- which specifies that none of our rights to life, liberty, or property can be infringed in the due process of making law.

Two different subjects.

Nonsense. - You claim the public "rules" through our elected representatives. -- Such public 'rule' is restricted by our Constitution.

The Constitution enumerates our rights, and restricts the federal govt.

It also restricts the States, and the people of those states, -- from infringing on those enumerated [& unenumerated] rights.

If we don't "rule" through our elected representatives, please explain to me just who the ef is in charge? Your buddies, the federal judges?

Fed judges are not 'my buddies', -- any more than elected representatives are your buddies.

"We the people" are all in charge, all the time, - of protecting our individual rights. -- 'We' are not in charge of restricting rights. No one has that power in a free republic.
