    All forces of enforcement of laws being created by one branch or interpreted by another being basically under the third, which incidentally is the one branch with an all powerful executive means the whole checks and balances was flawed from the get go, and assumed way too much good faith leadership, IMO

      The current fascist takeover proves it assumed too much good faith. Not an opinion, but a fact! Who knew giving only one branch the power to actually enforce things was a bad idea?

        Right? I mean hindsight is 20/20 and all that, but come on…

        Now it means technically you’d need some kind of shared enforcement accountability - but how to make any congress-controlled or judicial-controlled enforcement group big enough to compete with the US army when push comes to shove… 🤷‍♂️
