Yeah, I think that’s exactly what our Founding Fathers had in mind when they conceived the legislative process.

I believe it's what our Founding Fathers had in mind when they took up arms.

"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

We are apparently at sufficient remove from the lessons of our past, and our Congressional leadership is at such remove from an understanding of their duty that we are fast approaching a perilous breach between people and government. I wish to be mistaken but fear I am not.
