Anti-democratic Democrats

Where does the law come from in a secular society? Where, when we strip away tradition? All that we have left is the consent of the governed. That is the battle here. Will we have a "soft" authoritarian society or a democratic one? There was a time when the law was the shared property of every citizen. It was long ago hijacked by the legal industry and its members, on the courts and in the legislature. Now it is accessible only through them, on their terms, and at a cost. The Constitution has become the plaything of the legal priesthood, its simple language apparently unreadable by the rest of us. Some Republic. Is this the "democracy" we die to build in other countries? We must get back to first questions. And so I ask again, where does the law come from in a secular society?
