Political Process at Work

One of my favorite Supreme Court quotes:

"General statutes within the state power are passed that affect the person or property of individuals, sometimes to the point of ruin, without giving them a chance to be heard. Their rights are protected in the only way that they can be in a complex society, by their power, immediate or remote, over those who make the rule." Bi-Metallic Investment Co. v. State Board of Equalization, 239 U.S. 441 (1915).

So remember kids, your remote power to elect legislators justifies them ruining your life.
