My comment to JN’s article.
Your concerns are totally valid but, personally, I'll be really
impressed with The Nation's commitment to democracy when you come out for
(1) Federal unicameralism (abolish the senate, keep the house),
(2) Denying the Supreme Court's power of constitutional review,
(3) Reading the supremacy clause as an affirmation of the supremacy
of the federal legislature,
(4) Abolition of the Electoral College and election of presidents
by popular vote, and
(5) Repealing Article V and putting in place a national
amendment process closer to the much more democratic procedures of a number of
states, allowing for popular initiatives and requiring validation through
referenda.
Soon?
Not that I'm all that unreservedly a democrat, myself.
But they are the ones whining.
