Justice Marches On




Fortunately the system does still work. You can sue the government for violating its own rules and the government will overrule its own bad behavior. This is what it looks like when you live in a functioning democracy. This is why we continue to be free. It may not be the best system in the world, but its better than all the alternatives.


Its shit like this that makes me understand comments from the administration that democracy doesnt take hold in Iraq because they dont understand democracy. I would argue that most Americans dont understand democracy either, but fortuantely we have a system in place that protects us from an administration that grasps too much power and a populace that is all too happy to give it away.
