“three coequal branches of government”,

If they are co-equal, then two of the three ought to be able to over-rule the third.

Yep, but there would be little need to "over-rule" if the various branches simply stuck to their job descriptions.

Unfortunately, two of the three are predominantly statist.

The Executive and Judiciary are overwhelmingly statist.

The Congress, not much less so.

And they have the military with all its snoop prowess.

We are screwed.
