That poignantly describes the problem with the current Administration:

Since the democratic ruler is insatiable, that ruler will assume more and more power. In the end, the formal Law State will be mere window-dressing for a democratic power- and police-state, characterized by such a mass of statutes, rules, and regulations that not much will be left of the libertarian substance of genuine constitutionalism.


It is not as if Republicans are much better. Right now the dominant tone in both parties is for more central power. That is the beauty of the Tea Party. They alone are the voice for limited government.
