Re:It's not suicide, it's desperation (Score 1)

What you're saying makes it seem as though you're sympathetic with the government giving itself more powerf. The point of a representative democracy is for us (the people) to elect officials that will /do as we want them to do/, not to obtain power for themselves upon being elected and then pass crap to give themselves more power when we (the people) take some away. The government is supposed to be ours, and by what's written in the Federal papers and the Constitution, it is clear that the people are, in fact, supposed to rule the country, not the government. Luckily, from what I've seen, the Supreme Court is very willing to follow the Constitution, and so when the government (federal or local) passes laws that I /know/ aren't constitutional, you will all see me not following them. The Supreme Court will hear a case that brings a spotlight to a law that isn't constitutional, and will rule in favor of the defendent.
