Scalia dead

@Winston Smith

I’m proposing democracy, a system of checks and balances in which elected representatives legislate, appointed judges judge and an elected president presides over it all administratively. A system in which the only recourse of any faction is persuading enough citizens to support its policies so that they gain the votes necessary for passage into law. If the electorate is so polarizd that neither side can gain the advantage for a time so be it. That’s better in the long run than a coup after which some faction impatient with the democratic process reverts to some failed form of government and creates illegitimate law by fiat.

That’s what we have already in the US.
