tbh, you need to abandon the inevitable tyranny of such 18th-century atheist thought, and return to the real enlightenment, the golden age of the 17-century when God-fearing Protestant political theorists layed the framework for our political freedoms. Try and tell Samuel Rutherford or Oliver Cromwell that the people surrender their sovereignty when they elect rulers over them. They'd have you hanging from the gallows before you could say the word "sovereignty"!

Aye, give me a king and let me keep my sovereingty any day, rather than surrender my sovereingty to some citizens when I elect him over me. Now wonder the French soon descended into totalitarianism when they had their revolutions. Despite the French ideals adopted by the USA's founding fathers, thankfully they had more solid Anglo-Saxon roots to keep things stable.
Your vote is your signature and the contract is non binding. If I don't like my social contract with American society, then hello Canada for me.

Once again, more jibberish about why we need to go back 300 years to be more free and that a king that you know you can't change is better than a hollow vote.

Supreme Court members can be impeached. This is in the Constitution and there is nothing the Supreme Court can do about that.
