The Founding Fathers of this nation were a pretty smart bunch. They developed a system of checks and balances in government by creating three branches.
Executive
Legislative
Judicial
The whole point being that if one or even two branches abused their power, the third could jump in and try and equal things out.
We're seeing that right now. The Executive and Legislative Branches enacted legislation, behind closed doors that clearly the majority of the nation didn't want.
Now you're seeing a growing list of State Attorneys General filing suit to challenge at least elements of the legislation they deem unconstitutional.
The Executive thumbed its nose at the Judicial Branch during the State of the Union Address. Payback can be a bee-otch.

- Tea anyone? A Tea Party Blog.
- Both parties, Democrats and Republicans alike have let us down. We've let them. Enough is enough. Above all, be polite and peaceful. There are indeed some good honest people in Washington on both sides of the aisle. Too many however have run amok, drunk with power, in powerful leadership positions which demand term limits. Let's take our country back at the polls this November. We start today.
