Boortz reacts to backlash over a Supreme Court ruling on congressional districts in Virginia, arguing that constitutional law should take precedence over popular opinion. He warns against what he describes as “mob rule” politics and uses the controversy to discuss the role of the courts, the limits of majority power, and what he sees as a lack of basic civics education in America.
“The will of the people must prevail.”
What do we call that? We call that a “democracy.” We call that “mob rule.” We call that “majority rule.” And our founding fathers specifically steered us away from this type of government!
