Obama and no Checks & Balances
| Tue, 10-28-2008 - 12:53pm |
Is anyone else worried that Obama probably will win the presidency, the Democrats very likely will have control over both houses of Congress, and there might be enough votes to break the filibuster? I would be OK if one or two of these factors happened, but not all three. We will have no Checks & Balances. I would feel this way whether the Republicans or the Democrats had power. No party ever should be this dominant and have this much power. Is anyone else worried about the potential loss of our Checks & Balances?

Hubby and I were talking just about this newest argument.
The system of "checks and balances" is a balance of power between three branches of government - executive, judicial, and legislative.
Excellent points.
