Please accept the following correction to my earlier reply:
"In a Constitutional Republic, we the people have the right to demand that even the President himself explain and account for his own actions and not by way of spin meisters out of the White House ,the FBI or DOJ."
In about 90% of my replies I have been using the word Republic myself. I agree with you that in this case it would have been better if I used the word Republic again. However, even in a COnstitutionl Republic like we are supposed to have, there is a constitutional guarantee for a "democratic process" when it comes to elections. But our rights thankfully are not supposed to come from elections or even just rulings by judges, but by constitutional guarantees (Bill of Rights and amendemnts to COnstitution).
I also believe that the Federal government assumes powers that it does not have but instead are given to the states by the Constitution. Some day soon these powers will again be assumed by their rightful owners, the states.
And the states and the Federal government have been assuming many of the powers and rights that are given and left to the people by the Constitution. Some day soon these powers and rights will by assumed by their rightful owners, the people.
To me, the Constitution and Bill of Rights were written and approved by devinely inspired men who believed in God.
