The courts have become grotesquely dictatorial and far too powerful.

Serving in the executive branch is very different than sounding off from an academic perch.

Apparently a great many people have forgotten that the framers of our Constitution went to such great effort to create an independent judicial branch that would not be subject to retaliation by either the executive branch or the legislative branch because of some decision made by those judges.

The Congress is a dysfunctional institution; it's broken. One of our three branches of government is broken.

The Supreme Court and courts in general have been usurping the role of the legislative branch of government.

When it imposes expensive regulatory mandates on the private sector, Congress often acts on the basis of interest-group pressures, anecdotes, and the emotions of the moment. The executive branch is hardly perfect, but it is far less likely to do that.

The government generally is just too top-heavy.

Maintaining checks and balances on the power of the Judiciary Branch and the other two branches is vital to keep the form of government set up by our Founding Fathers.

As President Franklin Delano Roosevelt learned when he tried to pack the Supreme Court, the three branches of government are coequal for a reason. Neither the executive branch or the legislative branch should use the third branch to a pursue a partisan agenda.

I believe that government is too large, costs too much, spends too much, and has too much regulatory power in our lives.
