Thank you for sharing. I would like everyone to remember that the problem isn't whether you agree with the elite exercising the tyranny and disregarding the law. Simply voting into power the elite you favor still erodes the freedom many profess to hold so dear.

The social contract, the very laws that bind us together, is what must be held first and foremost in importance. Rule through and by law. This is why the oath of office is to the Constitution. This is why the amendment process exists. This is why there is a whole branch of government who has equal power and whose sole purpose is to decide whether new laws violate that social contract.
