We no longer believe in separation of powers around here.

There are checks and balances that cross the "separation of powers" in many ways.

Presidents can veto, while the Congress can override it.

Courts can rule Congress' laws unconstitutional, while the Congress can submit constitutional amendments to the states to get around the court.

Judges violating laws can be impeached and removed by the legislative branch.

All of those things are hard to do, but the bottom line is that until we start impeaching some of our out-of-control judges, then we'll be ruled by them, and not by our elected legislators.

It's time to bring the judicial branch back into line. Constitutionally, of course.

This is all so aggravating. What is the court doing? ON Drudge I see these words in bright red stating an emergency session is taking place...SINCE THIS MORNING. Why isn't someone feeding this poor innocent (once)non-terminal woman? What is that court doing? Taking an extended lunch?

Honestly, I don't want to be ruled by either one of them.
