I Realize That The New York Times

Democracy Has Proved Only That The Best Way To Gain Power Over People Is To Assure The People That They Are Ruling Themselves. Once They Believe That, They Make Wonderfully Submissive Slaves.

Some People Don't Mind A Little Constitutional Sophistry In A Good Cause; And For Liberals, Centralizing All Power In The Federal Government Is Always A Good Cause. Since Most Americans Don't Know Or Care What The Constitution Says, Let Alone What Their Ancestors Thought It Meant, The Great Liberal Snow Job Has Been Very Successful.

Controlling The Interpretation Of The Constitution Is Vital To The Leftist Agenda Of Expanding The Federal Government's Power. That Means Keeping The Federal Judiciary As Liberal As Possible And Treating The U.s. Supreme Court's Liberal Legacy As Sacrosanct.

Since Outright Slavery Has Been Discredited, "democracy" Is The Only Remaining Rationale For State Compulsion That Most People Will Accept.

Government Has Ceased To Mean Upholding And Reinforcing The Traditional Rights And Morals Of The Governed; It Now Means Compulsion In The Service Of Social Engineering.
