Well the people that believe it is the law because the Supreme Court is the final say are wrong, that was my only point. Are Money interests not the American dream? I always thought that the American dream was to become economically successful, isn't that why the illegals come here? (I believe that is your argument). Also, what you believe and don't believe in are one in the same. In a Constitutional Democracy (at least in the USA) the majority does rule. No matter what the majority wants, if working together, they can achieve anything. So your Constitutional Democracy is only a majority rule system. I guess you can argue that you need more than a simple majority in out Constitutional Democracy but non-the-less, the majority has rule.

I don't see how you don't support a majority rule government. Maybe I just need a better explanation of what you would consider a majority rule.

To come to make a simple living, to have for yourself and those you love some cessation from crushing poverty is a far cry from the monied interests I mean. To make a living is different from to make a killing. To rape the land for filthy lucre, to gorge on luxury while others starve on crumbs, to crave gold and ivory while others crave shelter from heat and cold. Most people survive; a few gorge, like the rich man in the Nazarene's parable. Human beings are frail and full of self interest, unless the minority is protected from the majority, genocides happen; those with power crush those without. To believe that "Americans" somehow are immune from the frailty of the race is to live in a dangerous fantasyland full of peril.
