THE REPUBLIC REPEALS ITSELF

Andrew Sullivan:

A country designed to resist tyranny has now embraced it. A constitution designed to prevent democracy taking over everything has now succumbed to it. A country once defined by self-government has openly, clearly, enthusiastically delivered its fate into the hands of one man to do as he sees fit. After 240 years, an idea that once inspired the world has finally repealed itself. The people did it.

A country designed to resist tyranny has now embraced it.
