Normativism - The Hope and Ambition of Liberalism

Karl Schmit: Normativism is sold as an incredible feature of liberalism that helps protect the will of the people. But to karl schmidt, this isn't actually how things ever play out in liberal societies anyway. Even the most liberal society eventually recognizes how necessary temporary extra constitutional power is given the right circumstances. The reality of the world is that we have these long periods of normalcy where the government does almost nothing and punctuated by rare moments of extreme action whenever things need to get done.
