I've Been Teaching It Wrong!

Gosh, I thought I understood it. It seemed to be what all of the textbooks described. It seemed to be what Montesquieu wrote about and Madison outlined in our Constitution. It seemed to fall in place with Articles I, II and III in the Constitution itself devoted to Legislative, Executive and Judicial Branches. But, Senator Schumer is right there on the scene so he must know the correct answer:



The three branches of government are the House, the Senate and the President! I bet you didn't get it right either! I wonder how that makes the Supreme Court and the rest of the Federal bench feel?

And apparently the omission of those three branches over the last year when they neglected to take care of the simple trivial requirement of the law to enact a budget doesn't seem the least bit problematic to the man. It is reluctance to rubber-stamp a continuing resolution which will cause problems. Why didn't his folks take care of their primary function when it was due? Now he seems to think it is the Republican's fault and not his party.

Amazing!

Just wish that Suzanne G. Hupp,DC, was available to chew on his arse on a daily basis. The senior senator from NY is at or near the top of the "worst of the 545" list. regards, Alemaster
