Right LH, but unlike during the Clinton years where we had a democratic executive branch and republican legislature, we now have a party that rules over both branches (more so as of today re: the Congress) and a Supreme Court that at best is split 5-4 conservative to liberal, with undoubtedly, several new appointments to be made over the next 4 years. That sort of unbalanced system of "checks and balances" concerns me. As well the federal judiciary (exec. appointed with Congressional approval) is currently strongly tipped in the conservative court. And I wouldn't wish for the same scenario, should the party tables be turned.
I pretty much decided I'd completely not get involved in political threads but after reading this.. I'm gonna stick my nose out there enough to say this is exactly what concerns me the most and what would concern me were the situation reversed as well.
