Until society elects the bad guys. Then you will scream bloody murder for constitutional protections.... which the socons drove a mack truck through "because you can trust the good guys."
You go ahead and take the "good guys." I will take the rule of law, which provides some protection against not only the bad guys, but against the good guys who go bad when confronted with all that power and wealth.
Rule of law was touted by the ancient Greeks, and the framers liked it as well. Sozhenitsyn is one modern figure who recognized the tyranny of law.
There is only one thing that reduces a tyranny: something higher.
Amen!
