This thread is actually really sad. As someone who likes and respects both of you, you are just totally talking past each other, when you actually agree on the main point. Just disagree on what the superseding value should. And think the other one thinks it's something bad.

I don't think they even disagree there. Chait needs to say "yes there are values that supercede democracy, let's talk a out which and why". Then we can move to a new, more constructive phase.

No, it's not the same point; you're putting a narrow and implausible idea of liberty above democracy, not alongside it.
