Of Judges and Demodogs

We have methods for trying and convicting people guilty of capital crimes - and it's not by an old fashioned Western lynch mob. Any such action, even by an "official group" such as local government, would be viewed as treasonous. With this form of government, the rule of the majority/the representatives elected by the people is supreme, and until we can get laws passed overturning abortion and other evils, there is no other action that we should take.

What you are proposing is what is called the "Divine Right of Kings" only you transfer ultimate authority to the majority and the representatives they elect. This idea is unbiblical and unconstitutional. The rule of this country is to be under God and under law. It is not as Abraham Lincoln asserted "of the people, by the people and for the people." That is tyranny.

On the other hand the Bible and our legal history affirm the right of lesser magistrates to resist the tyranny of greater magistrates. It is recognized that a king/president can commit "treason" as well as a mayor. Therefore all are subject to govern according to law . . . not the whims of the majority or elected demagogues. That is liberty. You are proposing tyranny.
