S1E3 - To Separate, Or Not to Separate
The Framers of the Constitution considered the separation of the three powers of government -- executive, legislative, and judicial -- essential to maintaining liberty. But, has it done its job?
Welcome to Self-Evident and Forgotten, a podcast on the truths of liberty and odd opinions! Hosted by Stanton, Kristi, and Cody, we explore the beautiful ideas often forgotten today that have given life to a free, peaceful, and prosperous society.
In today's episode we see if dividing government and setting it against itself actually fulfills the vision of protecting liberty like the Framers wanted it to. Congress legislates, and the president enforces, and the courts judge. But what happens when Congress just gives up and lets both the president and courts legislate for them?
