I thought the three Branches of Government were "co-equal".

Since 2 of the 3 signed off on this, what the Hell makes the Legislative Branch think they are off limits?

The judicial just assumed that power!

The Constitution does not say the 3 branched are co-equal; only that there are checks and balances. Congress is covered under Article I, demonstrating that it is the primary branch (more equal than others - Animal Farm, Orwell).

Sort of like the "wall of separation" between church and state. It does not exist in the Constitution.
