There are huge potential consequences... and the nation faces much more serious challenges which the government needs to address

The division into whig and tory is founded in the nature of men; the weakly and nerveless, the rich and the corrupt, seeing more safety and accessibility in a strong executive; the healthy, firm, and virtuous, feeling confidence in their physical and moral resources, and willing to part with only so much power as is necessary for their good government; and, therefore, to retain the rest in the hands of the many, the division will substantially be into Whig and Tory.

To others, the universe seems decent because decent people have welded eyes. That is why they fear lewdness.
