You should know better than to accept this silly partisian
interpretation of what happened.

Our Founding Fathers deliberately designed the US Government to have
three independent branches as a check and balance. The three brances are
supposed to be in conflict with each other; the US has a long and
productive history of such conflicts, starting with Andrew Jackson & the
Supreme Court.

This is no different.

There is no "slippery slope" issue here. There are just the three
branches doing their usual power plays back and forth.

Actually, the Wall Street Journal had a great editorial about the
decision and its implications on Tuesday. Headline readers tend to
miss a lot. But, then again they aren't disturbed in their ideology.

Only read this if you are willing to read this:
