Politics 2

I have been disturbed lately that we no longer have a system of checks and balances. It used to be that the Presidency was balanced by the Congress and they were checked by the Supreme Court. It seems we have drifted to the pits of a combined presidency and congress! How are we to have checks or balances when one branch strong arms the other to get their way. This is not a slam on the Democrats or Republicans, but both. Although the Democrats seem to be stronger armed in getting their way! In fact their tactics lead me to Politics 3.
