Protect the Separation of Powers
To: Justices Court
From: A constituent in North Beach, MD
March 17
The separation of powers enshrined in the US Constitution is a vital principle that maintains the system of checks and balances between the three branches of government. Recent events have highlighted potential tensions between the executive and judicial branches over the president's controversial executive order on immigration. It is crucial that we uphold the independence of the federal judiciary and its ability to interpret laws and review executive actions. This ensures no single branch accumulates excessive power and maintains the balance intended by the Founding Fathers. I urge you to take steps to de-escalate this situation and reaffirm the judiciary's critical role in our democratic system of government. Safeguarding the separation of powers is essential to preserving the rule of law and preventing a constitutional crisis.
