In a Democracy, revolutions take place at the Bottom of government.

In a Democracy, revolutions take place at the Bottom of Government, not at the Top. A revolution is an event characterized by a confrontation between the 'assembled' People who are 'governed', and who are at the Bottom, and the Government, at the Top, that is doing the 'governing'. Any attempt to change the manner of governing, by the Top, is not a revolution. At best, its the undermining of the 'structure' of the government, by the 'very same structure', that characterizes the Top of that Government. In other words, in a Democracy, its just the form of Government that's 'self-destructing'. Of course, Governments can change the 'manner of governing'. But, if the Top of Democratic Government is characterized by the 'division' of Power into Three Branches, the Three Branches would have to 'agree' on the changes in the entire mode of Governing. That's why we have 'elections' and the exercise of the 'vote'. In a Democracy, obviously, any attempt to 'circumvent' the 'electoral' or 'voting process', would just be an attempt to undermine the very structure of the Government. Wow, a Democratic government trying to de-construct. Its unbelievable. Where would that leave the electorate? Well, I guess with a 'non-meaningful' vote, or, an 'empty vote'. All that political friction arises from the human tendency to separate into political Parties. The Party mentality is divisive. Of course, it doesn't have to be divisive, but that pre-supposes that both Parties are democratic in 'ideology'. Obviously, Parties don't see 'eye to eye', each Party has an agenda and that agenda 'carries over' into the Supreme Court, which has been 'packed', and whose members, incidentally, have also divided up into Parties, or stated differently, into different 'interpretive practices'. Consequently, once an Individual ascends to the 'halls of power', s/he should only have duties to perform; at that point, s/he should not try to install 'ideological differences'. A Branch of Democratic Government does not have the authority to pass a law, that authorizes, one Branch, to 'shoot itself' in the 'democratic foot' of the other Branch. If you need to change Government, start a Revolution, or, go to the polls.
