quote from his speech "In the words of James Madison, "the accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.""

I guess AL hasn't been paying much attention to what the judicial branch of the government has been doing lately... because according to Madison we are living under judicial tyranny since they have assumed all 3 functions of government for quite awhile, even going so far as dictating to legislatures what laws they have to pass.

Of course he has; that is the ONLY place that liberals can make any headway now; I'm sure he doesn't have a problem with them!
