We have to remind ourselves - sometimes gently and sometimes harshly - that the founding fathers gave us a constitutional democratic republic with laws, rules and customs for among many other things the orderly transfer of power and the right to petition our government peacefully. No matter what our grievances are, bad things happen when we decide to step outside of the confines of the constitution to right what we perceive as a wrong. (Good things happen when we take the time and expend the energy needed to amend the constitution.) It is no accident that we are the longest lived republic the world has ever known.
