"And that document [The Constitution] is, in many ways,
anti-democratic. Where democracy and liberty are in conflict, the
Constitution comes down squarely in favor of liberty and against
democracy. That was the entire purpose of the Bill of Rights, to
place our liberty outside the reach of democratic decision making."
