| Rob is absolutely right here. Tyrants don't have time for the democratic process, and have no desire to be limited by the constitutional limitations. These kleptocrats are far to busy practicing nepotism, and attempting to enrich their friends with fat contracts to be limited by a piece of paper. Particularly when the people seem powerless to demand the rules be followed short of violence, or withholding taxes.
Either way, they have they have usurped the power, and aren't shy about wielding it against whomever opposes them. |
