    The Founders greatly feared direct democracy. They created all sorts of checks on the passions of the mob.https://twitter.com/rothfarms/status/719683538161786880 …

        @celtoid2 @mattklewis It appears that the "delegates" are largely unchecked. No one knows who they are ... little fishies in the big pond.
