You do realize don't you that we have three branches of government, each serving as a check and balance on each other? Just checking.

I am aware of that. The legislative makes law. The executive promotes law. The judiciary resolves disputes at law.

When the judiciary legislates from the bench, it is usurping the power of Congress.

When the executive writes EOs that go beyond administrative matters pertaining to executive areas (agencies), it is usurping the power of Congress.

We have had a great deal of both of the latter in recent times.

Don't write to me again until you improve your manners.
