I think you're right, Steve, this gentleman thinks waaaaaaaaaaay too much A man after my own heart, he seems to be able to think a "problem" or concept to death. If disobeying a law is a form of obeying the law, then I think the space-time continuum has a huge rip in it.

I'm confusing myself now just thinking about the concept he's trying to put forth. Gonna have to do some deep before I can wrap my head around what he's trying to say.

Under this section he asks whether the people who voted against the Constitution (or against the new president for that matter) are dissenting or consenting. He identifies local dissension with actual consent by stating that yes, while dissenting against an idea, or a person, we also consent to the system itself by submitting to the results of the vote, even while we disagree with them.
This is fascinating. And will annoy me for the rest of the day, at least.

Interesting comments! Which is what I was hoping for, of course.

I'll try to go deeper into it in my second library session this afternoon.

I was right about this. It's still annoying me.

I'd have to think they are consenting. Surely the opposite would mean an attempt at revolt upon losing? Ouch, my head hurts.....
