Gosh, I was sure the Constitution set up three branches, with separation of powers.

Ein Reich! Ein Sunstein! Ein Fuerher!

The Constitution did set up three branches, with separation of powers, but Czar Sunstein doesn’t give a hoot about the Constitution. Then again, neither do the Senators who voted to confirm him.

Silly you..

Actually, think about it. Who would you rather have deciding on the interpretation of law? Someone with a lifetime appointment, or someone up for election in four years? What was GWB doing with his signing statements the last several years?

One of the things I've been harping on lately is that truly, the Framers FAILED when they drafted the Constitution. There were certain ill-advised phrases, that the anti-feds warned about at the time--General Welfare, Necessary and Proper, Interstate Commerce. But there was also the failure to spell out, in clear terms, who settles questions of Constitutional interpretation.

It's gotten to the point where conservatives gushing over the Framers makes me want to hurl. Sure, it was a valiant effort. But the results are in. EPIC FAIL.
