There is the key to the whole thing. THe founders wrote that Constitution thingie to make sure the government stayed the hell out of what was none of it's business. Things like energy production and regulation. There is a very specific list of what the federal government is authorized to do and ANYTHING else was forbidden. Unfortunately, they forgot to give us a suitable vehicle for enforcing the Constitution over the government. Voting is too slow and did not take into consideration professional politicos or the people being dumb enough to elect lawyers. The 2nd Amendment is too drastic for everyday infringement.
Nothing personal against lawyers, but allowing lawyers to write the laws, debate the laws AND judge the laws or accountants to write the taxcode is fox running the henhouse, no matter how you look at it. I bet if the judges didn't come from the lawyer fraternity, things would be different.
