government because the government is separated, because we have checks and powers. because the congress can stop the president. because the courts can stop the congress. because the states can do certain things that the federal government can't and when people say we can't seem to get anything done, we can't get it done fast enough, justice scalia is arguing that was intentionally put into the constitution so that the federal government would move slowly and methodically by consensus and not in fits and starts in response to the immediate demands of the public. >> it's so interesting because when you look at the poll of how americans feel, a lot of them, i think, they obviously don't like congress but they want to see things get done but it's interesting that the constitution still applies to 2011. >> it does and the constitution -- when the constitution was written, much of it what the wall street occupier crowd or even people legitimately complaining want to see get done was done by private business or by the states. because the framers were afraid too much central government, too
