Steve, agreed that the checks and balances process works remarkably well, especially 200+ years later. However in the scenario I described, the Soros-led radical left would have the White House and would have a significant majority on the Hill including a filibuster proof number in the Senate. Among the first programs would be to nominate and approve scores of ACLU-approved judges for the lower courts, making San Francisco's Ninth Circus Court of Appeals the model rather than the abnormality it is today. This would seriously damage the checks and balances process. As slots came open on the Supremes, it would destroy it.
