A challenge to us, the voters

"The fact is that it's unreasonable of us to expect even principled politicians to vote against things like crop subsidies and stand up for the Constitution [because it is political suicide to do so, in many cases]. This presents us [the voters] with a challenge. It's up to us to ensure that it's in our representatives' interest to stand up for constitutional government." -- Walter Williams, "Future Prospects for Economic Liberty." Imprimis, Vol. 32, No. 9, Sep 2009: 1-5
