Monopoly power of one branch of government reduces democratic efficiency BTW all three branches of government were in agreement as to the illegal nature of the PATCO strike. As federal employees the controllers were violating the no-strike clause of their employment contracts. In 1955 Congress had made such strikes a crime punishable by a fine or one year of incarceration -- a law upheld by the Supreme Court in 1971. eightiesclub.tripod.com The courts supported the action of the president and the union leaders were fined and some were hauled off to jail. So your assertion that one branch of government usurped the democratic process by imposing it's will on the other two is false. Not only that, Reagan received wide spread public support for his actions as personified in his re-election where he swept every single state except Mondale's home state and the District of Columbia, much to the chagrin of almost everyone I knew at the time. BTW the president who leads all others, by a very wide margin, in issuing executive orders which superceded the power of the two other branches of government is FDR. archives.gov
