2L - CON LAW - Matching Government Action to the correct Constitutional Claim............
Recently I read all about the Guantanamo situation and realized that IF these "combatants" were treated as citizens - well then they needed DUE PROCESS and EQUAL PROTECTION. But they're NOT citizens...oh well, let's set an example for the world, think human rights, and make them "citizens for a day". At least this decision got me thinking. It is true that certain actions can be paired with certain amendments, pretty much every time. Here we go.....

"Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard."
H. L. Mencken

H.L. Mencken was certainly a character! His reservations about democracy were the sort of fears that motivated our Founding Fathers to set up a republic...instead of a pure democracy.
Our Founding Fathers were afraid that--left unchecked--the unwashed masses would run amok and destroy all that the privileged had devised. We have a bi-cameral legislature. They designed a House of Representives (for the common folk) and a Senate (for the privileged). That, in theory, is what our Founding Fathers envisioned.
Critics of a pure democracy cited the examples of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome--where hucksters could sway the common folk with lies and crafty speeches. The common folk, the demos, could be lead by the nose by a clever demagogue.
Thank God we don't have any demagogues anymore!
