I think you're asking if they don't have to follow each other why do we have to follow any of them? Because if we don't, the executive comes and arrests us. :(

Or worse. Remember Waco? They could have easily arrested Koresh on his morning jog, but used that executive power to effectuate something far different.

What is being contemplated here is using force to provoke a constitutional crisis. The vast majority here at this forum say, "go for it." The problem I have with that is that the good guys won't always be in charge, and an unbridled executive branch can do to you or me whatever it wants and you'll have no one who can effectively tell them to stop.

Right now the Judiciary is too strong. Therefore, it is necessary for the Executive to override the Judiciary sufficiently to keep it in check. If the Executive were getting to strong, then it would be necessary for the Legislature or Judicary to override it.

I'm with you on both points.
