Not to mince words but to “deny power”???

I always thought that the brances of government were to balance each other and not circumvent, or have more sway (power) in the process as a whole...

Just my opinion...Remember. somewhere we lost the ability to control our government somewhere along the way, where the Constitution and its parameters were specifically designed to “limit” the government and its duties, and not the other way around...

And we do not have all the ingredients (in this day and age)to bake that big “humble” pie that this government needs to consume right now...

Anyway, thanks to briother Bigun for giving me the steer to this group and its discussions...

Is there a “ping” list I can be added to???

BTW, when you said: “The powers are enumerated and yes, there is no provision for any branch to unilaterally create more powers.”

You are absolutely right, but apparently they (government, all branches) apparently didn’t get this memo, and no one has had the ability to call them on this...So that is why we are in the pickle we are in these days...

We know what is broken, we just do not have the pieces in place to correct it (fix it)...

Forgive me, I do have some catching up to do, to absorb and get into the discussion here and be on the same page with this group...

These certainly are the kind of discussions I enjoy on this website...

Regards...

My point is that the court has the legitimate power of judicial review.
