And if those representatives, or the bureaucrats they empower to make choices for them, don't need to justify their choices, why do we have, or need a Constitution?
Interesting episode of Enterprise, right now -- about rival stranded on a moon looking for ways to survive and cooperate, kinda like that movie awhile back with Dennis Quaid and Lou Gossett, Jr.
Well, representatives and bureaucrats do need to justify what they do and be accountable, by the beauty of our constitutional Republic. I also like the buffer against corrupted central govenment provided by our limitation of powers and the 10th Amendment -- though we've grown some as a nation since the late 1700's and need to act more cohesively in numerous ways that the powdered wig set hadn't the ability to analyse this far into the future. That's one reason why they made provision for amendment, of course.
We don't need the feds to be sending the noses of their dogs into our pants pockets, of course (nor the local Sherrif's Deputy). There are reasonable things all elements should do and unreasonable things they shouldn't do.
