It all shows how politically weak the foundation of our Republic is.
The three branches of government were supposed to keep the system in balance, but the Founders never realized that a fourth Force, Communism, could easily invade and destroy the system.
May forever, somewhere deep in our hearts, what was once upon a time live and be once more. It is a Republic, if you can keep it. Reach the right destination and determination that Freedom will not have lived and then died in vain.
