The people are the most powerful part of the legislative process in a democracy. They, and you, may have forgotten that by not voting and attempting to justify the positions taken by public officials who are sworn to protect the constitution. > Which I think is a perfectly rational thing for the FBI to do in the absence of a law stating that they must do so. I don't think it's the best thing for democracy, but... I've seen a lot of this "understanding" in the news and online. It is not how democracy works. We have the power, not them. We can literally vote them out of their jobs.
