Restraints on government power no longer exist.

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another . . . deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it . . .

Restraints on government power will always exist. They are reaching (or have reached) the point where a higher level restraint is the only option for restraining that inevitable and long train of abuses and usurpations that leftists cannot resits.

As soon as I posted that I knew someone would remind me of the ultimate restraint.

What I should have said is there is no government restraint on government, there is no law they can't break with impunity, there is no Constitutional authority that they can't deny exists.

There is no protection from sedition charges, when laws are only selectively enforced.
