There are the way things are and the way they ought to be. According to our Constitution, this is the way they ought to be:
- Legislative Branch: Make laws.
- Executive Branch: Enforce law
- Judicial Branch: Interpret law using Constitution as the standard.
But something else is happening; we've got the judicial branch making laws, executive branch failing to enforce laws already established, i.e. border control, and congressional aides smoking "gonja" in the bathroom of the capital building. This is troubling. The reason we have experienced such great freedom here in the U.S. is because our founding fathers were wise enough to separate those powers into three different branches. The more we move away from those principles, the less freedom our children will have.
