What Digby said - Part 2365

They were worried about tyrannical monarchy, which I suspect the Tea Partiers would have no problem with as long as the King promised to lock up all the people they hate too. (They never seem to be too worried about the authoritarian state when it comes having a couple million people in jail, illegal warrants, a corrupt justice system or any of the other things the Founders actually were worried about.)"
