+Not a phony I think I will do some more of these this summer. I don't teach AP Government anymore so it's difficult for me to set aside time during the year to make videos for subjects I don't teach but these gov videos are easier to make than the history videos so I should make a few more! I've got one more I'm editing on the Senate vs the House that I plan to release tomorrow.
Separation of powers is a constitutional principle which must always be remembered in the topic of presidency. In my opinion, we have seen all three branches of government in violation of this Separation of Powers principle at various times. For example, in recent years the President and The Supreme Court have been making law which is supposed to be the responsibility of Congress.
+1Fireskull The supreme court is not creating law, they are declaring other laws constitutional or not. Which, to be fair, they gave themselves that power. But in the last 50 years(more so recently) we have seen Congress do less and less while the president do more and more(to compensate for less congress work?)
Taylor F. We have seen The Supreme Court violate States Rights - another Constitutional principle - in declaring things legal or illegal in all 50 states or making moral judgments which all 50 states are forced to accept. I agree that Congress has been weak in asserting its authority in making law. I must add that Congress has been weak in exposing the violations of Separation of Powers by the other two branches. Much of that weakness in Congress has to do with members being beholden to wealthy globalists and global corporations instead of their honest duty to The Constitution and The People.
1Fireskull If something is unconstitutional, it applies to EVERYONE. That is part of the federal governments supremacy. Moral issues? I honestly do not know what "moral issues" are being argued in the supreme court. Can you point them out?
Taylor F. The Supreme Court made law in making gay marriage legal in all 50 states. This is making law and also violating States Rights. Don't call me a bigot, because if a state wants to pass law to legalize gay marriage then I am all for it.
