TOO BAD??????? Are you serious??? I cannot believe she could be confirmed for postmistress of Nowhere, North Dakota, but if she had actually gotten a cabinet post....

Her ideas were so bizarre and so radical that any attempt to actually implement them would result in revolution or civil war. You should get down on your knees and thank God each night that her nomination went nowhere.

The tyranny of the majority would have been an interesting debate for the country to have.
This "tyranny of the majority" is called democracy. Get used to it. With all its defects, if you or Lani try to eliminate it, I and a great many others will fight. And this wouldn't be an "interesting debate". If Lani started getting her way, this would be blood and bullets.

And "tyranny of the majority" can only go so far under this government. That's what the Bill of Rights is about.
