I never really agree with the Fiscal Times, its a GOP tool. But in this case, they nailed it. Our government IS BROKEN... These are two sides of the same ugly coin. Congressional Republicans can’t force the President to govern the way they want him to, so they throw as many roadblocks in his way as they possibly can, from creating gridlock to refusing to fill vital government positions. For his part, Obama can’t force the Congress to legislate the way he wants it to, so he is doing everything in his power to work outside the system, effectively depriving Congress of its rightful role in both legislating and overseeing the executive branch. The result is that the legislative and executive branches are both trying to exercise authority outside the channels traditionally available to them. This not only gives the impression that each side is overreaching, but creates a system in which the judicial branch, rather than being one of three coequal parts of the government, is now the ultimate authority over decisions it has no business making.
