QotD: Republican government

Filed under: Government, Law, Politics, Quotations, USA — Tags: , — Nicholas @ 00:04

Republican government is impossible in an age where not only are the bills too long for a reasonably engaged citizen to read, not only are they too long for a legislator to read, but they’re too long to write down before they’re passed into law. We just have to trust our rulers, and they just have to trust whichever aides negotiated whichever boondoggles with whichever lobbyists.
