The Mindset of the Left: Personalities over Principle

The Kennedy Seat ... that says it all. The purpose of the Senate was to be a legislative body that represented the states. The House of Representatives was the legislative body that represented the people more specifically. The Founders exercised great insight in the way they structured the representative republic (the res publica) that was to avoid the twin dangers of mob-rule democracy on the one hand, and oligarchical tyranny on the other. Since 1789 we've been taking that insight apart piece by piece and it all heads in the direction of tyranny because there is tyranny to right and left. The seat is the seat representing the state of Massachusetts. The people's seats are in the other house. Oh yeah, but we messed that up didn't we? hmmm... To restore liberty we need to restore principle to its rightful place and stop imagining that it is all about who you are and not about what you are.
