James, I thought that was what the "checks and balances" was supposed to be for. Judicial, executive and congressional branches. What has happened over the past 35 years in particular is the elimination of distinguishing among them. The judicial branch has been compromised by the "executive" appointments made to the Supreme Court - alliance to political party and not to the laws of justice nor to the constitution but political winds and allegiances; the congressional branch has been alligned on politics and allegiance to the president in power - they have become the "political army" for each political party. Evidence the legal arguments debated in the House during the impeachment trial and the arguments in favor of the president - not based upon what is right and wrong - but based on this is "my party" and I must save my party by keeping this immoral president who commits criminal acts. Justice has become a cursory incumbrance, to be disdained when addressing the party in power.
