knee jerk reaction is NO, if The People get to vote immediately and whatever they vote is law, their passions are too easily swayed and it becomes a tyranny of the majority.
But possibly one could come up with a mix of representative and direct democracy, leaning more toward the latter, limited by the BoR, that wouldn't be tyrannical....
Perhaps. But there have to be limits on government, and checks and balances to keep power in check no matter WHO wields it.
What Goshin is saying, is that he got mixed up yesterday over Romney winning Florida, and today he snapped out of it, and supports a representative government like the founders intended. :mrgreen:
