I think this weekend is as good as any for people to take time and read the US Founding documents, because it seems like a lot of the philosophy the US was founded seems to be unclear to a lot of people. This article and a lot of comments seem to misunderstand the role and purpose of the US form of Federal Republic government. Its worth reading the lot chronologically IMO.
