« "The past is never dead. It's not even past." -- Faulkner | Main | How Jesus invented individual liberty »

"Freedom requires independence from authority."

The new system celebrates its own unlimited power, reflects the self-adoration of its masters, reeks of their arrogance and resonates to their childish willfulness.
For in the end those who want unlimited power are damaged souls. Children determined to be the only ones to play with any of the toys. Their lack of empathy, their arrogance and ruthlessness all signal their fundamental immaturity. They are determined to rule, to pillage and plunder, to wield absolute power-- because there is something missing inside them. -- Sultan Knish: A Nation of Living Constitutions

So why can't a law or amendment be passed declaring any law or government regulations containing the words "at the discretion of..." are a contradiction to the letter and spirit of the constitution and automatically null and void?
