Quick Civics Lesson

A Letter to the Editor of the Seattle times today needs a lesson on the three branches of government:

They v. the People

How deep can we sink?

They (U.S. House Appropriations Committee) threatened to cut off funding for the U.S. Supreme Court?

I thought there was a limit to the depth they (the Bush administration) would stoop to get their way, but I was wrong. There is no limit!

Ki, three branches of government, my friend. The executive does not control the budget, despite the way the media makes it sound.
