The constitution stipulates 3 purportedly co-equal branches of our government (the executive, legislative and judicial) to provide the checks and balances. Therefore, it's mostly the responsibility of the legislative branch to assert themselves and thus far, they have abdicated, undoubtedly for reasons far too complex to reasonably dissect here. The entire analogy has lost it's way. Craig -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
