An Example Of A Real Threat To “Our Democracy” (Or, More Accurately, To Our Constitutional Republic) Manhattan Contrarian

Both points only go to show the strength of the iron bubble that Leonhart inhabits. I would say that the ability of politicians to continue claiming that they won elections after being declared the loser is a function of our constitutionally protected freedom of speech under the First Amendment. To Leonhart, such conduct is of course protected when engaged in by a Democrat (examples: Al Gore, Hillary Clinton, Stacey Abrams) but is a threat to Democracy when a Republican does it. And then we have the phenomenon of the Supreme Court issuing opinions disconnected from public opinion. Perhaps the single most important feature of the Constitutional Republic is that the Supreme Court is there to uphold the Constitution even if the current majority of public opinion would discard it. Does Leonhart really not understand that? Thus both of Leonhart s threats to American Democracy in fact represent fundamental features of our Constitutional Republic.
