"intuition and imagination and intelligence"
Yes, what a terrible nation we would be in if the government wasn't allowed to abuse it's power.
You think the SCOTUS or the Executive or the Congress are abusing their power? Funny each branch is often saying that about the other, so imnsho the thing (consitution) is working just fine.
I do think the Founding Fathers (sorry girls) were aware of the adage that power corrupts and I think they were students of human nature. For my whole life time I've heard the alarms, screams and whines about the government and yet here we are...still kicking.
This is all an alarmist bogus argument meant to keep people uneasy. I recognized it's ugly head rearing early on. The smell too. It is so distinct.
