I said nothing about the "meaning" of the term monarch. What words did I parse, I merely asked you some questions about the quotation which you didn't answer.

I know not what country you are part of but the United States of America is still a republic. Hysterical hyperbole to the contrary.

At any rate, the thinking of many of the founders was that a life time appointment removed those appointed from the temptations to do what you fear. They may have been wrong but that is what they thought. Where did I say that I wanted such an appointment or election. I was merely trying to clarify what Hamilton and others thought about it. They also thought that the Court would be ABOVE politics.

Hamilton, of course, feared the rise of the Jeffersonian democrats and THEY are the reason we have court decisions many of us don't agree with. Not that any reasonable man would believe he would agree with every decision of any court. Or that you could predict what a judge would decide on a given case. Of course, that is exactly what the RATS demand from their judges but those who care about integrity and such old fashioned things would never make such a demand.

"Court decisions" like those enforcing the Alien & Sedition Acts?

By the way, Mr. Jefferson and his philosophical brothers referred to themselves as "republicans"...
