Here Here Mr Webster!!
from: Speeches and Forensic Arguments By Daniel Webster:
"There is no usurpation so dangerous as that which comes in the borrowed name of the people. If from some other authority or other source prerogatives be attempted to be enforced upon the people, they naturally oppose and resist it. It is an open enemy and they can easily subdue it. But that which professes to act in their own name and by their own authority; that which calls itself their servant although it exercises their power without legal right or constitutional sanction requires something more of vigilance to detect and something more of stern patriotism to repress and if it be not seasonably both detected and repressed then the Republic is already in the downward path of those which have gone before it."

"There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."

Just because one is elected to office doesn't mean that we the people will stand for being ruled unconstitutionally by them. Public officials who were elected by the due processes set down by the Constitution might do well to honor and uphold that Constitution rather than scorn it and undermine it.

Note: Italics my own.
