Wednesday letters: Our democracy, Republican mess, and Boebert should get to work

Our Founding Fathers initially rejected democracy Thanks, Cindy Ryman, for your timely letter on Jan. 18, reminding our citizens to “Fly the Flag.” We’re most proud to have our office flag flying at 30 feet. Your use of the words “our democracy” is universal, yet the words “our republic” is seldom to be found. The word “democracy” is not found in our nation’s Constitution of 4,500 words, containing the last amendment of 1992. Few will remember that democracy was overwhelmingly rejected by our Founding Fathers during preliminary debates on the forms of government our new nation might pursue. The word “democracy” is found on less than 50 of the 1,400 pages of a collection of the founder’s political writings from 1760 through 1850. They believed a republican form of government with a stable constitution would guarantee the citizens “unalienable rights.”

On Friday night, the Supreme Court swatted aside a lawsuit spearheaded by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, seeking to invalidate electoral returns in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and Georgia. The attorneys general of 17 other states had backed Paxton’s suit. The majority of the court found Texas lacked standing to file such a complaint because it had not “demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest” in how other states conducted their elections.
