We've often compared democratic national security and autocratic security making in terms of autocratic elites and democratic voters. My argument is not that all democracies are the same, but I do think we ought to be thinking about autocratic elites and democratic elites and voters.Elizabeth SaundersProudly sponsored by the Kellogg Institute for International Studies.

Without an elected government, without a government that truly represents... a lot of things are imperiled - rights, democracy, freedom, certainly peace.

I think you completely misunderstood Sunstein's point about interpretation vs. amendment. He was saying that people with different methods of Constitutional interpretation can always say that the resulting decisions from other methods (with his proviso thst there needs to be a discernible theory of interpretation) are wrong and should have been achieved via amendment rather than via interpretation. So, as he said, the answer to your question always depends on one's theory of interpretation.

The guest's use of and adherence to definitions really helped structure and clarify the conversation. It's nice when people seem to know what they mean. :)

For my part, I'd have appreciated definitions of democracy and populism, in particular. The guest seemed to be using vague notions that might have implied either circularity or irrelevance (i.e., using words in ways people don't mean them). I view democracy as a theory (or assertion) only about the legitimacy or root power of a system of governance. It is not an operational structure. Populism seems like a mere mechanism. Again, though, the meaning of "populism" was very unclear/ imprecise.

Minor note: You're misusing "begs the question" when you mean "raises the question." To beg the question is to commit the logical fallacy of assuming the conclusion.
