You are just too funny Sylvan.
You do, of course, know that I realize you are making a play on words and that it is generally stated that we live in a democracy. To be absolutely correct in terminology we do exist in what is termed a Democratic Republic.
Regardless, PA is also a commonwealth but only people desperate to make a point go around correcting those who say it isa state --- semantics!

Actually, I do agree with your "rule of law" assertion and to nit pick that I intended anything else is pathetic.
How does "rule of law" take root? It is done by electing, through majority, those majority-elected leaders construct legislation and vote, by majority, into law, or in court appontments, they make appointments and those appointed officials are voted on by a majority, they then review law and vote, by majority, to arrive at a decision.
The concensus of law if for "all" citizens -- not a special few.


Much as you try to weasel some constitutional exception to the fact that governing in our society is designed to be fair and equal, you can't do it.
