How far off course have our Representatives gone?

"They are not to do anything they please to provide for the general welfare, but only to lay taxes for that purpose. To consider the latter phrase not as describing the purpose of the first,but as giving a distinct and independent power to do any act they please which may be good for the Union, would render all the preceding and subsequent enumerations of power completely useless. It would reduce the whole instrument to a single phrase, that of instituting a Congress with power to do whatever would before the good of the United States; and as they sole judges of the good or evil, it would be also a power to do whatever evil they please...Certainly no such universal power was meant to be given them. It was intended to lace them up straightly within the enumerated powers and those without which, as means, these powers could not be carried into effect."-- Thomas Jefferson (Opinion on National Bank, 1791)

Separation of powers, we have 3 Branches of Government...Executive Branch, Legislative Branch and Judicial Branch. The framework was laid out in such a manner to prevent one group(read: Branch)from making all decisions, to prevent a Dictatorship and to keep all Citizens equally represented. It appears that, no not appears at all, it has happened that the Judicial Branch has made rulings not in accordance with our Constitution, that the Legislative Branch has introduced and passed Bills into law that are also, contrary to our Constitution...and summarily given the green light by the Judicial Branch. This practice needs to stop and I mean NOW! A obama, along with billary, want universal healthcare mandatory? billary said on FNC the other night that those not wanting to participate would have that option, before that...she mentioned garnishing wages of those not willing to join her 'clusterf**k...which is it? The liberals, Heaven forbid, get into the White House....all 3 Branches will take a giant step toward a Dictatorship; think back and remember how Hitler came into power...what's being said by the democratz on the campaign trail smacks quite the same...food for thought y'all, November is fast approaching and while I'm not a McCain supporter, he is really the only viable 'choice' given our system of elections.
