Balance of powers

I suppose it's only natural. When one party cohesively owns both chambers of congress and the executive, when there hasn't been a veto in four years, when the president gets exactly what he wants with zero accountability: then (and only then) can the executive and legislative branches directly attack the judiciary.

BBC: Mr DeLay said.

"We will look at an arrogant, out-of-control, unaccountable judiciary that thumbed their nose at Congress and the president."

There are but two balances left in our country: the Senate fillibuster, which is weak and costly, and the Judicial review which requires adherence to our Constitution. Both are at now at risk. I admit to a morbid curiosity of what would happen to this country if those last two modes of legality were removed. The stuff of dreams for a powerful few. Then one could achieve real change, dynamic change, the kind that could never be undone... or damage that could never be repaired.
