We are either a nation of duly ratified laws, or opinions.
Freedom comes from duly ratified laws. Tyranny from opinions.
Yes. The people. Not the aristocracy. Not the oligarchy. Not the plutarchy.
Fundamental to America.
i will point you to things on the net....but i am not postings information for you., and wasting my time, as you will not read it.
do you want the information of where to look?
you really need to read about mixed government /republican government.
This is exactly the process that Rush Limbaugh uses to avoid debate.
It's his way or the highway.
You really need to think for yourself.
rush Limbaugh?....oh brother!
i do...becuase i have read, and understand WHY the founders shaped our structure of government the way they did , ....as a check on federal power, and to prevent majority rule, and the evils of collectivism.
You don't believe that monologs are his style and debate his weakness?
Oh, brother!
I, on the other hand, rely on the Constitutional Convention and its product, the US Constitution. Just like the Federal Courts and Congress and the President do.
what it tells me is your a partisan hack.
i have discussed the structure of the federal government.......yet you are talking politics...
You haven't discussed anything. You have pontificated on what you wish was true.

then if you rely on those, then why do you not listen to the founders who created them........they gave us today many warnings........yet people do not listen to them.
No, I see you're cherry picking.
As an aside, I think it's frightening that people such as Clarence Thomas used this faction argument in order to allow no limits on campaign contributions and I quote, "The Framers preferred a political system that harnessed such faction for good, preserving liberty while also ensuring good government. Rather than adopting the repressive 'cure' for faction that the majority today endorses, the Framers armed individual citizens with a remedy".
In otherwords, f*ck the political sytem, let money rule. The guy is pretty transparent along with his Tea Party wife.

Democracy is designed to resolve factional disputes. A ruling class is designed to squash them.
this has noting to do with what i am talking about.
faction is a by-product of democracy
The Constitution is the collaborative product of all of the founders working towards the melding of their individual thoughts. I doubt if there was a single one who did not agree with some part of their joint decisions. That's how democracy works.
As you deny the democracy that they utilized, I wouldn't expect you to understand and accept the Constitution instead of their individual inputs that suit your agenda.
I'm talking specifically about the Tea Party/Liberty groups out there that pervert the constitution for their own means.
This does not include the followers who are clueless with being used.
show me where the word democracy appears in any constitution in the u.s..
the founders hated democracy be it direct or representative....which they state
if they would have wanted representative democracy, they would have not created our mixed government.

faction is a by-product of democracy
while those are faction.......so is .......planned parenthood, labor unions, sierra club, NRA.......faction comes from THE RIGHT AND LEFT.
faction, cannot be controlled, ...it not possible to let in the faction you like, and keep out those you dont.
Then why did he invoked Federalist No. 10 in a dissent?
Another name for factions is groups of different opinions. Leaders manage them towards resolution of their differences. Tyrannies eliminate those that they don't agree with.
