Most people don’t realize that much of what passes for law in this country is regulations.
Regulations written by unelected bureaucrats. Often arbitrary and intended to enforce political ideology that has been rejected by the voters.
Regulations that have the power to fine you, to confiscate your property, even to imprison you. Usually without any due process.
Also, when unelected judges make law instead of interpreting law, as is their real duty, they join the ranks of bureaucrats violating the Constitution.
All of which is despotism. Plain and simple.
Indeed so. The EU version is merely more open about it, although utterly dishonest in what it claims to otherwise be; the entire structure is an “administrative state” with no prior semblance of a constitutional republic.
