Well, not exactly a "deluge." More like a demolition.......of democracy.
...During the rushed debate over the Patriot Act, was when we first heard political officials talking about the importance of “continuity of government.”
Many of us recognized what these DC voices were describing was a construct of a post-911 government that would exist and maintain itself without the elected representatives of We The People.
The intelligence gathering and homeland security system put into place after the Patriot Act was passed, is a bureaucratic administrative state without the presence of elected officials controlling the apparatus. That leads to the following question:
How can a constitutional republic function without elected officials in control of it?
That question is at the heart of our current situation.
That question is at the epicenter of this “new American democracy” that no one seems to understand.
The simple answer is it cannot.
We have been fighting this three-headed IC monster (DHS, DNI, DOJ-NSD) ever since....
DOJ-NSD = Department of "Justice" National Security Division.
Note: Jim Sense-less-brenner voted for the Patriot Act. So much for that pocket Constitution he carried around for Show & Tell but not for his personal knowledge or understanding.
Anyhow....
...Under this Patriot Act framework, representative government [executive branch, legislative branch and even the judicial branch] are subservient to those who use the shield of national security. This outcome is the direct consequence of creating a system for the “continuity of government.”...
SCOTUS--sadly--agreed with this perversion.
