Is Trump Assaulting Our Three Branches of Government System?

  If a president is seeking to insert himself too strongly into the judicial system, we should be concerned. We have checks and balances in our country, put there in the Constitution for a reason. Yes, we should be alarmed when they come under attack by a president. Yes, we should be concerned when he inserts himself too deeply into the judicial branch. Yes, we should raise our eyebrows when he suggests he is immune from the judicial branch by virtue of "executive privilege."
   Dictators begin this way. Whether we say it will go that far, still, as Americans -- if we truly are going to be eternally vigilant as we have promised to all our lives -- we do not let these things happen.
   We say, Don't tread on me, and put a stop to the corruption of our government. The checks and balances are an integral and essential part of our government. Let the three branches of government remain free from one taking over the other.
