In the system of checks and balances, one wold hope that one of the three branches of government would restrain the other two if any part or parts of the government violate the Constitution. As a check on all three going rogue, we have elections. As a check on a rogue government buying off 51% of voters (mob rule), we have the Second Amendment.

I hope our ruling class has enough respect for the rule of law to avoid forcing us to resort to that final defense of liberty. The tree of liberty must from time to time be watered, but I am not anxious to make that necessity any more frequent than the parasites among us demand.

Makes me wonder how well Justice Roberts sleeps at night. Hope he enjoyed that briefcase full of cash he got from Soros...
