The Separation of Powers: How Justice Scalia's Lone Dissent Rings True in Today's State of Political ‘Lawfare’ and in the wake of President Donald J. Trump’s current and future Indictments. By Daniel DewingAmerican politics may be exhausting, but it's important to remember that our constitutional system has allowed for the creation of the most free and prosperous nation in human history. However, we must acknowledge that the root cause of our exhaustion is the complacency and efforts to erode the system that has served as the ultimate protector of liberty since the ratification of the Constitution in 1788. The Separation of Powers: Our founders intentionally created a system of checks and balances through the separation of powers to avoid the tyrannical concentration of power. This system upholds an equilibrium that provides the foundation for our democracy. As we navigate this challenging political climate, it's important to remember that this structure has become the ultimate protector of our liberty. The Importance of Teaching the Constitution: It's clear that the next generation must be properly educated on our Constitution, the separation of powers, and the intent behind our exceptional system of government. By providing civic education, we can ensure that our democracy remains strong for generations to come. The Normalization of Impeachments and Special Counsel Investigations: We must address the efforts and complacency to erode our system of government. By stopping the political lawfare, including the normalization of impeachments and special counsel investigations, we can uphold the integrity of our political system and ensure that our democracy remains strong. We must remain inspired by the strength and resilience of our constitutional system. By acknowledging our exhaustion and actively working to address the root causes, we can ensure that our democracy remains the shining example of liberty around the world. With proper education and a commitment to upholding the integrity of our political system, we can continue to build a better future for ourselves and future generations.
