If what Gephardt said is reasonable in any sense of the word, why on earth did the Founding Fathers set up a tricameral system of government?

And why the BS about "checks and balances"?

Gephardt and Ashcroft both ignore the Constitution. There must be something in the Missouri water.

I keep telling people that our founding fathers DID NOT trust the very system they formed. That's why they broke it up into three parts with its own power and authority to check the other two. It takes a second or two for them to realize the truth.
