THE ROBERT W. WHITAKER ARCHIVE

ANOTHER WHITAKER HERESY | 2002-03-30

In American society today nothing is purer heresy than saying people should "take the law into their own hands."

We have a Constitution whose only claim to authority is "We the People of the United States of America..." But liberals and conservatives agree that the only real purpose of that document is to allow judges to overrule the people's will.

For the people's own good, of course.

And here I am demanding that the people take the law back into their own hands.

I'll never be an Intellectual.
