@volkris @realcaseyrollins@social.teci.world @AltonDooley @realcaseyrollins@noauthority.social @Hyolobrika no. democracy does not mean near complete consensus or paralysis. that’s tyranny by the veto power of any small minorities. 1/

@volkris @realcaseyrollins@social.teci.world @AltonDooley @realcaseyrollins@noauthority.social @Hyolobrika we created an antidemocratic tyranny on purpose (although we did not expect it to bind quite as strongly as it has in recent decades) to lock-in the form of democracy the Constitution establishes. we made amending the Constitution antidemocratically hard. 2/

@volkris @realcaseyrollins@social.teci.world @AltonDooley @realcaseyrollins@noauthority.social @Hyolobrika bur Marbury v Madison gave us another way to amend the Constitution, through judicial reinterpretation. And that requires a mere majority among nine imperfect, ideological, corruptible individuals. /fin
